Hi! Last week’s crossed swords were obviously related to the multiple forms of war discussed in last week’s parsha, and preparations for war and anticipation of war. Speaking of which, let’s hope and work for peace, and let’s have it soon.

Now then, let’s chap arain a quick game of Press Your Link, shall we? Time is of the essence. Man, Shabbat must start at 12:00 p.m. in Alaska. Anyway, how do these relate to this week’s parsha? Hint: a certain pop culture phenomenon is involved, and we partake annually. Oh no, not he…

Anyway, Shabbat shalom, or as they say in Egypt, Shubat shalum, 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!
