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

Hi! Lots of folks had some very creative responses to last week’s cufflinks, which had the doves on them. Taking flight to the arei miklat, a city of refuge, was a particularly interesting one. The answer I had in mind was the turtledove sacrifice present in both parshiyot we had, that addressed and resolved impurity issues.

In this week’s edition of The Link Is Right, we’ve got a double parsha again! Think hard, because I did. Finally, a non-layup. I’ll give you a slight hint this time: These cufflinks are more weighted to one parsha over the other, but I’m not going to tell you which one. Shabbat shalom everyone, and thank you to all the chatty adults and shy kinderlach who take the time to play this game with me on Shabbat.


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!
