Do you want to play? A game? There’s lots going on in this week’s parsha, but these tie in to one set piece. I’m not doing any puns this week because my kids have had enough. I mean, hey, that’s just how eyeroll. Nyuk nyuk nyuk! Shabbat shalom, everybody!

For years now, Martin Bodek has …

Hi! The chagim are creating all sorts of clipped deadlines, but I’m doing my “buzzt” to make them all. Pshew! Just made the … cut. By a … hair. Best I could do off … the top of my head. You know the drill. Mullet over. Shabbat shalom, “shaverybody!”

Gladius this is over, huh? Think you could claymore cleaver ones that are scimitar to mine? Man, I need to cutlass puns for my own good.

Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were the Ravenclaw crest cufflinks from the Harry Potter mythos. Because the parsha warns multiple times against the use of sorcery, you could get in trouble with He Who Is Named.
David Roher, who should be familiar to readers from the pages of this paper, tried a different angle: “Never more!,” he said, “As in forbidden in this week’s parsha.” Very clever!
