The annual Chelm Comedy Convention is exactly what to expect of the Wise Fools.

Special appearance by Nancy Sullivan.

This is the final episode of the podcast, and also the final story in the book. Thank you for taking this journey with us. May all your foolishness be wise.

Here's a special bonus episode, with the final tale dropping next week.

From October 2024, recorded live at Bayit Shelanu Rosh Hashanah services in Santa Monica, California (imperfect audio, recorded from the video livestream)...it's a five-minute medley based on Chelm--and not really a story. Nobody's perfect.

(We assume you remember that "tsuris" means "trouble." That will matter...once.)

Also featuring Rabbi Jan Goldstein, Rena Strober, and musical accompanyists Bruce Garnitz and Steve Blum.

We'll see you next week for the final episode.
