Hi! How was Pesach for you? Good? Great! Been a while since we last played. What were the last cufflinks? Ah yes, the turtles! Because they’re tzavs in Hebrew! A little bit of fun with homophones.
Now then, Pinky you can Gus out what these have to do with this squeak’s parsha? Let me know when it Feivelly clicks in your Brain. A Mighty Shabbat shalom, Jerrybody!
Say, who moved my cheese?

… this opportunity to wish all of you a Chag Sameach! I hope any of my Haggadot are at your seder table, and I hope you enjoy your quality time with your families. Feel free to spill grape juice all over my books. Nothing would please me more.

… brah? YOLOve it, don’t you? This hand gesture has so many meanings, you can go through a whole SHAKAla v’taryah with it. HANG LOOSE, though, because you’ve gotta tell me what it’s got to do with this week’s parsha. Shabbat Shalom, everyone!

Hi! Last week’s paper clips represented the “hooks” that connected the parts of the curtains that decorated the Mishkan. All of you got that. It was unanimous. Fire.
Now then, did you know that “Lego” is actually an abbreviation of the two Danish words, “leg godt,” which means “play well?” A better question is what does that have to do with the parsha? Nothing, because this is so easy, I even took a break from the puns. I’ll be back next week, though. Chazak, Chazak v’Shabbat Shalom!

… can you connect these to this week’s parsha? What’s the hook exactly? This one’s in a clasp by itself. Vovay iz mir, I’ve gone overboards with the puns.* Shabbat shalom, y’all!

Hi! You enjoyed last week’s Knicks puns, didn’t you? I got more groans and eye-rolls on my walk to shul than ever before. Mission accomplished! Some of you divined the relationship to the knickers (best English translation for it) that were part of the Kohen’s ensemble. The rest of you eye-rolled along.
I’ll keep it simpler for this round. There’s a lot going horn in this week’s parsha, but how do these figure into everything? Your answer could be a comedy haor tragedy. Wink! Shabbat shalom, everybody!

… 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.)

Hi! Did you get that last week’s cufflinks literally represented “an eye for an eye”? Of course you did, because you’re clever. Nice going!
And now, coming in on the Shabbat table-au are these cufflinks. Show me you can link them to the parsha. Week to week, you guys have been amazing, prima facie! Shabbat Shalom, everybody!

Last week’s cufflinks were the Harry Potter Gryffindor crests. Griffins have … go ahead, say it before I do … wings of eagles, correct—which is how Hashem carried us out of Mitzrayim.
Think you can tie these to this week’s parsha? Go for it! Yes, the positioning matters … a lot. Shabbat shalom, everyone!

Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were eagles because birds were a feature of the parsha and also of the Super Bowl. One person opined, “Oh! Freedom!” That one was clever.
Now have a go at these, which are very much related to last week’s parsha as well. Can you figure out how? And tie it to this week’s parsha? Got your work cut out for you! Shabbat shalom!

Hi! Last week’s logos were the Batman symbols, and most of you, after trying some puns with me (“Batziat Mitzrayim?” “Battin’ 1.000 with the makot?” etc.), hit on “The Dark (K)night” as a wordplay reference to Choshech. Well played everyone!
Now, can you tie these in to this week’s parsha? And a shtickel also to this weekend in the larger culture? Oh, I’m sure you can…wing it. I have faith in you. Shabbat shalom, y’all!
