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.
