Motke Chabad

Motke Chabad (Mordechai Chabad) (c.1820-c.1880) was a Jewish Lithuanian (litvak) jester (badchen) from Vilnius known from many Jewish jokes.

[1][2][3][4] In many jokes he is an archetypal schlemiel, misfortunate in his endeavors:[3] Some jokes of Motke Chabad are ascribed to Hershele Ostropoler and vice versa.
