Vox populi, vox Dei. Gordon seems to be the tartan most authentically associated with Jewish Scots.
Thanks Arlen.
Wow, what a thought, that one would be assumed to be JEWISH from wearing a kilt! 
But just as there are differences of liturgy and language between Shepardic and Ashkenazim, why not accept that other tartans could be developed for Jewish identification? Personally, I wonder if one would want to be identified as a Gordon OUTSIDE of that region if the link is one's status as a son of the covenant.
