Linking Northern and Central NJ, Bronx, Manhattan, Westchester and CT

Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were “Bitcoins,” because a) they’re a little bit in the news lately, so it’s fun to find an occasion to use them, and b) commerce and transactions are mentioned about a half dozen times in the parsha. I had no choice.

As for this week’s parsha, let’s see you use your sense of direction to figure out which way I’m going with these.

Happy New Year, and, by the way, I resolve to continue doing this. I got a truckload of new cufflinks over Chanukah. Thanks, everyone!


For years now, Martin Bodek has been wearing cufflinks 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 into the parsha of the week. Email your guesses—educated and otherwise—to [email protected] and we’ll publish the best and most creative answers a week later. Have fun!
