The wise men of Chelm decided that they needed a new edition of the Haggadda, one which reflected their own personality. So, when they came to the 4 sons – the wise, simple, wicked and too ignorant to ask – they said, “As the wise one is obviously a ‘Chelmite’ let us change the wording to “One Chelmite, one wicked, one simple, and one too ignorant to ask. After all, everyone knows that Chelmites are wise.” They agreed and after many years passed a new motion arose to change the wording to read, “Wise from Chelm.” But, others disagreed, why would they do that when everyone knows wise=Chemlite? After much arguing they agreed to leave the Haggadda as it was, “one wise,” with a footnote at the bottom that indicated that “Wise” means “from Chelm.”
Come for a dose of inspiration from some of the greatest (and at times oddest) minds of history. The table is set. Come eat.
