What does the sorely depressed grandson of the most popular, charismatic spiritual leader in centuries do to bring some cheer into his life? Just what you would do; he hires the funniest, most unpredictable jester he can find. But he gets more, much more, than he bargained for. A wild, witty, practical joker, Hershel of Ostropolier (what then, Ostropolier of Hershel?) not only gives the sad-faced leader of thousands of Hasidic Jews laughs that rattle his belly, but confuses his retinue, produces consternation on the countryside and brings the Rabbi new problems to add to his old ones. Meanwhile, Hershel is so busy that he fails to provide for his wife and eight children, which doesn't help at all. So -- don't askand, besides this delicious folk-tale, there are seven other stories of more recent vintage..

What does the sorely depressed grandson of the most popular, charismatic spiritual leader in centuries do to bring some cheer into his life? Just what you would do; he hires the funniest, most unpredictable jester he can find. But he gets more, much more, than he bargained for. A wild, witty, practical joker, Hershel of Ostropolier (what then, Ostropolier of Hershel?) not only gives the sad-faced leader of thousands of Hasidic Jews laughs that rattle his belly, but confuses his retinue, produces consternation on the countryside and brings the Rabbi new problems to add to his old ones. Meanwhile, Hershel is so busy that he fails to provide for his wife and eight children, which doesn't help at all. Sodon't askand, besides this delicious folk-tale, there are seven other stories of more recent vintage.
