So nu? Did you grasp which group last week’s cufflinks stood for? Did you realize they were the insignia for the Rebel Alliance? Of course you did! You’re a dork like me! Wear that badge with pride! And did the fact that they were completely red mean anything to you? It should have! Because that’s how the Torah describes our rebel at birth!

Now let’s move on to Parshat Vayetzei, shall we? It’s time for Link or No Link! Another set gifted by a friend! Somebody wants me to have the record! Anywho, how do these connect to the parsha? I count at least two ways, so see if you can come up with them. The tie might have something to do with everything. I gave away too much. Shabbat shalom, y’all!

For years now, Martin Bodek has been wearing cuff links themed to the week’s parsha, to stimulate conversation around the Shabbat table. Naturally, it begged for a wider audience, and The Jewish Link seems like a perfect home—especially in name. Every week, we’ll present the cuff links, and you tell us how it ties in to the parsha of the week. E-mail your guesses, educated and otherwise, to [email protected] and we’ll publish the best and most creative answers a week later. Have fun!
