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

Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were the dollar signs (A gift from my mom; these are primarily the kinds of birthday/Father’s Day/festivals gifts I get nowadays), because those were basically all over the parsha.

But now, it’s time for this week’s edition of “Link of Legends!” What do these babies have to do with the current parsha? A lot, I reckon. Take a … stab at it. Ah har har har! No seriously, see if you can sword it out. Okay, “eknife” of that. Okay, okay, I’ll stick a dagger in it. I’m good at talon, you must be “sickle” of me. Somebody make me stop! Shabbat shalom everybody!

Gladius this is over, huh? Think you could claymore cleaver ones that are scimitar to mine? Man, I need to cutlass puns for my own good.

OK OK, done for real. That was epeec. Ragnaroked it, though I went a little over … broad.


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!
