WHY SHATNEZ?

In the Torah, SHATNEZ is the strange name given to clothing made from multiple types of fibers: those culled from animals, like wool, and those harvested from plants, like linen. Some Jews frown upon these hybrid fabrics and other forms of intermixing, but this Jew sees SHATNEZ as a positive concept, and aims to reclaim it. 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 more SHATNEZ!
