Last week’s “Real Men Wear Pink” cufflinks drove everyone batty. Joseph was a real man in many respects, but also in a very Pinocchio kind of way. He was a na’ar (boy) at the beginning of the parsha, and at the beginning of the next one, he’s viceroy of Egypt! As for the pink, it’s but one of the colors of his ketonat pasim, coat of many colors. I’ll go easier on you next year.
And now, let’s play another round of The Familink Feud! Well, I hope this doesn’t lead to that, but tie these into the parsha, if you can. As a bonus, tie it into the recent chag as well. Now that should be easy peasy. Shabbat shalom, y’all!
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!
