Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were the Captain America shields, which were easily identified, but did you know how they linked to the parsha? Did you understand why I said they were related to promises? Well, I won’t spoon-feed it to you, but Hashem takes Abraham outside and promises certain forms of protection, and compares his descendants to something. Now you got it, and bravo to all those who got that right and came up with their own wonderful interpretations.

Now let’s get in another game of Press Your Link! Hurry, Shabbat is coming in earlier and earlier! Tie these in to this week’s parsha. Before you do, don’t just fire off one answer. Oh no, these represent at least three separate events in different kinds of ways. Maybe more! See if you can name them all. You may have to be ma’aver sedra (read the parsha) for this one! Thanks for playing, and Shabbat shalom!

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!
