Sold out of Obama-kahs

We regret to inform you that we are now sold out of Obama-kah yarmulkes and due to the holidays of Sukkot and Simchat Torah, our manufacturer cannot provide a new shipment in time for us to re-distribute the yarmulkes to you before the election on Nov. 4.

We hope you understand, and will continue to speak to your friends, families, and members of your congregations about the issues facing us in this election.

We also hope that you will visit www.barackobama.com and consider volunteering by making phone calls to voters in battleground states, or even traveling to a nearby swing state through the "Drive for Change" events listed in your area.

Thank you for your support. If we all pitch in and do everything we can over the next two weeks, we can help shape the future of our nation by electing Sen. Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States of America.

Thank you,

Matt Walters

Show your support in style with "Obama-kahs" -- Obama Yarmulkes

We are volunteers with Senator Barack Obama's “Faith-Action-Change NYC” group and we've created "Obama '08" yarmulkes (Jewish skullcaps, also called kippot).

The yarmulkes are professionally made of ivory white suede, with “Obama ‘08” printed in blue, and the campaign's logo directly above the text. Please help us spread the word about their availability by reaching out to your friends at your synagogue (or your classmates at your local college’s Hillel) and to any other Jews you know who support Senator Obama -- and point them to our website:

http://jewsforobama.blogspot.com

We are offering the yarmulkes for $5 each plus a flat fee of $5 per order to pay for shipping. This will cover the costs of our custom order. If you order 15 or more yarmulkes (orders of $75 or more), we will provide free shipping. (UPDATE: If your order is to be shipped outside the United States, total cost will vary based on the price of international postage.)

UPDATE: Please note that the Obama-kah has not been officially endorsed by OBAMA FOR AMERICA. It was an idea developed by a group of volunteers who believe in wearing their politics on their sleeve, or, in this case, keppe. This is not a political fundraiser. The price of the Obama-kah covers our cost to have them manufactured as well as any fees for shipping and handling.

Please click the "Add to Cart" button at the top right of this website ASAP to place an order for yourself, your family, and your Jewish friends in your community. Once we get the Obama-kahs back from the factory we will begin shipping them out immediately. We will do our best to have these delivered before Rosh Hashanah, but due to overwhelming demand we cannot guarantee it!

Thanks for your interest and support! L'shanah Tovah from your friends in NYC,
