Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were the arba minim from Sukkot, because the parsha goes into the detail for the chag. Many folks over Shabbat thought the links were out of context, but not as far as the parsha itself is concerned!
Now that was an easy one, and I promise harder ones, but for now, let’s have a fun one, because it’s time for this week’s edition of “So You Think You Can Link?!” What do these babies have to do with this week’s 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.
Okay, okay, done for real. That was epeec. Ragnaroked it, though I went a little over … broad.
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!
