Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were the comedy/tragedy masks, representing 1. The mask (or veil) that Moshe needed to wear after his encounter with Hashem. 2. Hashem’s hiding his “true face” from Moshe. 3. The highs and lows klal Yisrael experienced throughout the parsha. Lots of folks got this right, especially perpetual write-in partner Amanda Jesky, but many others too. Impressive, as Moshe’s covering comes up way at the end of the parsha, and not everyone makes it that far.

Now then, vovay iz mir, if it doesn’t click how these connect to this week’s parsha! Yes, you, mishkan. The name of this publication might even be a clue. 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!
