“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?”

A classic! So many great stories about the wise men of Chelm.

I first recall learning them from Leo Rosten’s books. Great stuff!
