Shalom Y'all,

My background is varied and my interest is deep. I am a man in search of my historical roots and driven to bring them practically into the present.
For starters as you may have guessed, I am of Jewish descent through my mother (Sephardic - Spanish) and Scottish (Banes - Mac Bain) through my father. I am also Jewish by religious belief following the Temani nusach (Yemenite Jewish rite and liturgy).

I have many questions particularly concerning kilts and how they may relate to tallits which are a similar garment of the Jewish faith. Other related MUGs are also of interest to me. Please let me know if there are anyone else out there that might be a few steps up the road from me in relation to similar issues.

My main goal is to be able to be true to my heritage and religious convictions while trying to be at peace with the rest of the world especially my wife and family as I undergo this avenue of exploration.
