Did you know that the "ancient" Jewish tradition of hiding a piece of matzah during Passover was really invented in Chelm, the village of Wise Fools? Now you know. This story was inspired by an idea from Barbara and Joe Ruskin. (Unrelated trivia: Joe, a fine actor and better Human, played six fun roles on various Star Trek series...never as a Human.) From "Tales of The Wise Fools of Chelm," available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle. https://amzn.to/3VpWj7y

The mythical village of Chelm is where, in the mid- to late-1800s, the Wise Fools lived. Where everyone was a fool, no one was aware of being foolish. These are their stories--unlike other stories in the Chelm genre, very short-form tales as read aloud in synagogue over many years. (But you don't have to be Jewish! All are welcome.)
