Personally, I've always wondered about taking Royal Stewart, replacing the red with blue, adding more white, etc, to create the Jon Stewart tartan...

Oh, well his stage surname is Scottish. But he is Jewish. So I thought it would be funny to create a tartan using blue and white for him, based off a Stewart pattern.

Ah, I see! Interesting suggestion. But would the fact that he's a graduate of William & Mary have any influence on you?

Jewish tartan...
Since Glasgow was/is home to many Jewish immigrants, especially in the Gorbals area of the city, I would recommend the Glasgow district tartan.

Interesting! I suppose because of the long-term expulsion of Jews in England followed by anti-semitic statutes, I never really thought about Scotland housing a significant Jewish population. I've learned my new thing for today!
And no, Galician. I am never biased, especially not by his ties to my alma mater/hometown

I've resisted posting a particular comment to this thread, because I don't want to steer the thread in another direction that might get me in trouble with the MODS.
But since when has a person’s religion had anything to do with national origin?
Why is it assumed that you can’t be Jewish AND Scottish?
I say this because I have two Jewish friends; one a MacDermit and another a MacTavish.

Perhaps we should all stick to the subject of tartans rather than delving into the subject of religion.

I think that this is where Jewish identity crosses the boundary of religious affiliation and ethnicity. Although argued by some, many--if not most--claim it as both, since it involves blood ties.
