Hi! Last week’s cufflinks simply said, “Real Men Wear Pink.” Well, Yosef is certainly referred to in many places as a “real man” almost as often as he is referred to as “the dreamer.” And in the “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” play, pink is one of the 198 colors mentioned. I don’t know how the performers memorize all that.
On to this week’s parsha! Here’s something enjoying some serious popularity at the moment, but why do I haul them out of the cufflink vault for this Shabbat? What’s the connection? Find me over Shabbat and let me know what you think!
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!
