Show Notes

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.)
