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

Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were the dollar signs, because—as so many of you knew clearly—Parshat Behar is filled to the brim with financial considerations. Sales, fraud, usury, indenturement (that a word?), et al. Nice going.

Now check out these cufflinks. There are only 52 weeks in a solar year, so you know I’ll pull these out of the collection only when it’s maximally relevant to the parsha. It is! So you have to now determine the connection. Shabbat shalom!

For years now, Martin Bodek has been wearing cufflinks 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 into the parsha of the week. Email your guesses, educated and otherwise, to [email protected] and we’ll publish the best and most creative
answers a week later. Have fun!
