Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were chatzi-chatzi on the comprehension part of things. What, they don’t show abacuses (abaci?) in school math books anymore? They sure did in mine! They’re very much still used in Far East education!
Now let’s move on to play The Ultimate Linkmaster! Two parshiot for the price of one! What a deal! This week’s cufflinks also might seem anachronistic (Haul out the dictionary, kiddies!), but more culturally familiar. So nu? Have you figured out the shaychis to the parsha? Let’s hear. Shabbat shalom, y’all!
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!
