Ah, "toasts well rubbed in garlic". I remember my mother's father introducing that to me, but with a good dollop of schmaltz on top, which would melt into the toast. Heaven! He called it "peynitzle" - but I don't know if that's right. It was 60 years ago.

No, Hershele was not a Bukowiener but "lived" in Wohlin, and (although an imaginary figure) was supposed to be the pajjazzo in the Rabi of Medejewidz court. Go to Wikipeadia ( Hershele of Ostropoli) and read about him and some stories. There is a Hebrew book of all his stories that I bought many years ago for my kids but it is apparently out of print. It ciould be found at old books stores. If you read Hebrew I can try and obtain a copy foir you.
