Hi! Many folks approached me last week, proud to declare that the yin yang cufflinks represented Yaakov and Esav. Problem is, they weren’t yin yangs! The symbol was the Rebel Alliance from Star Wars, and they were completely red, both qualities representing Esav. Interesting mix-up, and as I always say to those who play: There are no wrong answers; there is only your excellent creativity and welcome participation.
And now, a special edition of Link And You Missed It is coming your way! Not only is the tie also playing along this time, but the suit too! It’s a tie-fecta! I’m not dropping any hints, so you’ll have to do all the hard work yourself. Shabbat Shalom, everyone!
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!
