Laktes Tee Giveaway Winners

There once was a gal in L.A.
Who thought up a fun give-away
She put out an alert
“A rhyme for a shirt!”
And had fun reading lim’ricks all day.

With that, it’s time to announce the winners of the Rotem Gear Got Latkes T-shirt Giveaway!  Thank you to all who submitted your clever limericks (and one rap) — they were all so clever and fun to read.

The order really doesn’t mean anything — everyone got the same shirt

Winner #1 is Ira Wiseman who came to this blog via the wonderful blog post by ImaontheBima announcing the giveaway and who graciously selected him.

Have you seen that king, Antiochus?
He wanted to punish and yoke us!
Mattathias said: “NO!”
Judah shouted: “Let’s Go!”
Now Al Hanisim is our focus!

Thanks, Ira, for letting me know you got the shirt and so glad you’re enjoying it!

Winner #2 is Amy Meltzer of Homeshuling whose clever well-written limerick really made me giggle:

A man with a fine felt fedora
Leaned over his hanukkah menorah
When he leaned down to light it
His hat it ignited
And now it looks like a pakora

Winner #3 also touched a funny bone plus had a special connection for me and not only because I’ve been known to try eating latkes with kimchee.

There once was a Korean Jewess
Adopted to live in Saint Louis
She made Chanukah latkas
While wearing her gotkas
But they might not be done till Shavous

I hope you all enjoy the shirts! Chag sameach!
