Hi! Did you figure out why I used Israeli flags for last week’s parsha, of all parshiot, and why I suggested you’d need an umpire clicker (Fun fact: it’s actually called an “indicator”) to figure it out? Well, because in the parsha, there are double-digit mentions of Israel, land and nation, more so than in any other parsha that I could identify. Congratulations to everyone who actually used the clicker.

Awesome, and now it’s time to play Link, Lose or Draw! What do these have to do with this week’s parsha? Something is afoot here, I can tell you that. Ah har har har. Shabbat shalom, everybody!

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!
