A clear cut comparison is impossible, because of the shared history of the Jewish people. I think a Jewish tartan would be nice. I have read time and again on this thread that many in Scotland's Jewish population adopted the name Gordon. While they can and have worn this tartan with pride, I think it would be interesting if there were a more "personal" (I'm not sure if that's the word I'm loking for) tartan for them to commemorate this shared history.
It would also give Americans with Scottish and Jewish heritage another kilt to jones for
