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.)

Poetic Justice
Property values...in and around the tiny village of Wise Fools. An amusing--but this time somewhat poignant--story. [This episode was scheduled many months ago for this date. Our real world is a tougher place these days but the timing of this story is not intentional.]

Joy, Laughter, and Kvetching Bears! Oh my!
Love how Mel Powell brings this Jewish humor to life and provides us a new spin of tales that will put a grin on your face and a giggle in your soul. People of all faiths can have a great time giving this a weekly listen. Me? I’m kvelling inside and out!
Great Podcast!!
It’s so enjoyable listening to these stories read by the author rather than in the voice I hear in my head when reading them. Mr. Powell adds emotion and wonderful comic timing to bring these stories to life. Highly recommended!!
