Hi! Last week’s cufflinks were the lego building blocks, because, ya know, building the mishkan? Okay, softball, which is what it seems like the Yankees are playing these days (I’m contractually required by my sons to insert as many sports references into this column whenever possible).
And now, something a bit more hardball: Aloha! Ready to play the weekly game, brah? YOLOve it, don’t you? This hand gesture has so many meanings, you can go through a whole SHAKAla v’taryah with it. HANG LOOSE, though, because you’ve gotta tell me what it’s got to do with this week’s parsha. Shabbat Shalom, everyone!
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 cufflinks and you tell us how it ties into the parsha of the week. Email your guesses, educated and otherwise, to thejewishcufflink@jewishlink.news and we’ll publish the best and most creative answers a week later. Have fun
