Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were compasses, and many of you got it exactly right when identifying that the journeys from and to Canaan and Egypt were manifold, and also, talk of the treks were plentiful, and future adventures back and forth were pletheoralific (my thesaurus busted, and I need a new one).

Closing out Bereishis, I’m thrilled that we made it through the first Chumash without duplicating cufflinks! Link these to this week’s parsha. Chazak, chazak and Shabbat shalom!

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!
