Gabbai in Shul ----- Yankel - How Do You Call Yourself Up? Yankel from the Chelm Section of Boro Park " I Prefer To Keep My Cell Number Private"

 

Examples of Chelm stories are:

“Which is more important, the sun or the moon?” a citizen of Chelm asked the rabbi.

“What a silly question!” snapped the cleric. “The moon, of course! It shines at night when we really need it. But who needs the sun to shine when it is already broad daylight?”

The melamed of Chelm was speaking with his wife.

“If I were Rothschild, I’d be richer than he.”

“How can that be?” asked the wife. “You would both have the same amount of money.”

“True,” he agreed, “but I’d do a little teaching on the side.”
