Cool?

Triquetra (/traɪˈkwɛtrə/; Latin tri- "three" and quetrus "cornered") originally meant "triangle" and was used to refer to various three-cornered shapes. Nowadays, it has come to refer exclusively to a particular more complicated shape formed of three vesicae piscis, sometimes with an added circle in or around it. Also known as a "trinity knot," the design is used as a religious symbol by both Christians and polytheists.

Take a chill pill. One can take a symbol of another religion and "kasher" it. The pews of the Eldridge Street Synaogue are embellished with cutouts of the trefoil design that symbolizes the trinity. At the time the shul was built, there was only one pew manufacturer, and only one style of pew. Take it or leave it. Eldridge Street is a huge shul, with a seating capacity of over 1000 in the main sanctuary alone, you'd think for an order of that size they could make a change, but nooo. The shul planners built many numerical symbols into the building, such as four windows to symbolize the Imohos, and so on. They decided the trefoil design would symbolize the Ovos, and that's how the museum docents explain it to this day.

Of course, the fact that it's called a "trinity" knot rather sours things. Ironic that in the instructions link, the knot just before this one is called the "Eldredge" (not Eldridge) knot. That is knot, I mean not, why I mentioned the Eldridge St. shul.

However, all the nontraditonal knots in the link, creative though they may be, look as if the person tied his tie backwards, and this one, with the tail end being tucked back under itself and the portion on the opposite side having to be folded over to fit under the collar, and no real way to tighten the knot after it's been tied, is just plain silly.
