Listen up! Hear ye! Hear ye! This is the final Shabbat week of Cufflinkle, round one! Why is that, you might ask? Well, 1) Parshat V’zot Habracha does not get its own Shabbat, and is rolled into Simchat Torah; 2) The Jewish Link takes one of its breaks and won’t publish during the week of Sukkot.
Therefore, chap arain this last one as a warmup for round two. Just for fun, enjoy the easiest layup ever. Tie these into this week’s parsha. Warning: round two will be tougher, and sometimes unfair. Nyah, nyah!
On a slightly more serious note, I want to thank you for playing with me, whether it’s over email, in shul or walking up to me on a Shabbat afternoon, it’s been a pleasure engaging with the community and enhancing your Shabbat experience.
Shabbat shalom, everybody, and Gmar Chatima Tova. Next year in Jerusalem!
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!
