Like all reptiles and amphibians, alligators and crocodiles are not kosher. This means that their meat may not be consumed by Jewish people. It should be noted, however, that leather of a non-kosher animal is allowed. For this reason, an alligator skin purse is perfectly allowed from a kosher standpoint. Kosher aside, you may want to do your research to ensure that it was sourced ethically.

Veo en Arstcroll libros como Siddur que dice piel de caimán, y me llamo mucho la atención, no se si realmente es piel genuina de caimán y se apto para un libro Sagrado.
