Help a Friend Out

So, my friend and MFA classmate Rony Sheer has started his own business.  He has created a Judaica t-shirt company.  That's a terrible way of me to put it because that doesn't sound interesting.  However, his Judaica t-shirt company is very interesting.  He is just starting out and only has a few designs as of now, but they are sooooo clever and funny.  If you aren't Jewish the t-shirts may not make sense, so let me explain them briefly.  Two of the t-shirts are clever asides on how Judaism is helpful to the enviorment.  The holiday of Chanukah is based off of when the Temple was destroyed in Jerusalem they only found oil to keep the holy candles lit for 1 day, but the miracle was the oil lasted 8 days.  So Rony made a Chanuakah t-shirt about how Chanukah is celebrating fuel efficiency for over 2000 years!    The other enviornment friendly shirt he came up with is about the Jewish Sabbath (Shabbat).  Traditionally, Jewish people are not supposed to use any electricity on the Sabbath, so Rony came up with "Shabbat: Prevents Global Warming" and "Shabbat: For a Smaller Carbon Footprint" organic t-shirts.  
His other design is a "I'll challah at you later" t-shirt with a big loaf of challah where the word would be!
These are really creative.  Check them out at www.cool4shul.com   and order them if you like.  They also come in sweatshirts, long sleeve, etc.
