16 November 2006 (Jewswire.com) - Just in time for the holidays the loxfish is here. What is the loxfish you ask? The loxfish is a marriage of the Icthus fish, more commonly known as the "Jesus Fish," and the fish most, if not all, Jews and non-Jews know as lox.
Michael S. Etkins, co-founder of loxfish, LLC, manufacturer and distributor of the loxfish, says, "The loxfish is not meant for just Jewish people; it is meant to bring people of all religions together through humor."
The loxfish came about after Etkins, the child of an inter-faith marriage, attended a Christmas dinner at which his father, after a few glasses of wine, opined that he wanted to see a "Jesus" fish for Jews, and that the fish, instead of saying "Jesus" should say "Lox." The statement was laughed off quickly by others at the dinner, but not by Etkins.
"When I heard the idea it hit me like a ton of bricks," said Etkins. "I knew immediately that it was something I had to seize upon and put out on the market as soon as I could."
Etkins quickly enlisted the help of friend and co-founder of loxfish, LLC, Tesfa D. Myrie. Together, the two pooled their own money to capitalize the company and made the loxfish a reality.
The loxfish is available in two different styles and can be viewed and purchased on the company website: http://www.loxfish.com/.
