WHY SHATNEZ? In the Torah, SHATNEZ is the strange name given to clothing made from two different types of fibers: threads culled from animals, like wool, and threads harvested from plants, like linen. Some Jews frown upon these hybrid vestments and other forms of intermixing, but this Jew sees SHATNEZ as a positive concept, and aims to reclaim the word. I believe that there is no separate thread, no solitary narrative that explains all of history -- in this land or in any other. In order to best understand this country's past, present, and future, we need a much richer picture of our composite reality; we need to study multiple perspectives. We need SHATNEZ!
