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

Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were the shallot, standing in for the showbread described as a constant of the mishkan. Good job to pretty much everyone in the neighborhood who played along.

And now: Melo! Tie these Pearls in to this week’s parsha, if you think you can McAdoo it before going Linsane. The best hint I can give you is that this is my bar mitzvah boy’s Clydea, and he’s made of snips and snails and puppy-dog tails. Best of luck with the Ewinging answer, and Shabbat Shalom! See you Latrell! (Sorry if all these hints are OG.)


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!
