Hi! Last week’s links were Thor hammers, which look an awful lot like gavels, which are held by judges, which was the name of the parsha! But it goes slightly deeper! Both judges and Mjölnir discern worthiness, which seems to be thematic to the parsha, and hence the appropriate connection.

Now then, won’t you come out and play with me? How are these linked to this week’s parsha? No puns this time. You deserve a beak. Uch, sorry, couldn’t help myself. Shabbat shalom, everybody!

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. 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!
