On July 22, 2001, The New York Times reported on Orthodox Jewish law of shatnez, which "prohibits the wearing of any garment that has a mixture of lamb's wool and linen. These days, the testing of clothes, rugs and even upholstery is on the rise as more people adopt the Torah's prescribed regulations...Even the most learned of rabbinical scholars are uncertain about the underlying reason for the laws."
