Jewish History
According to local tradition, during the Chmielnicki Uprising of 1648-1649, the town of Mezhibuzh was miraculously saved from a Cossack invasion thanks to the efforts of a simple tailor named Mordechai and his wife, Esther. This day was celebrated as a minor “Purim” by the local inhabitants and is still marked by some Jews around the world.

Wise Contraptions
When the telephone was first introduced, a wise man was asked, “What can we learn from this contraption?”
He answered, “That which is spoken here is heard there.”
So they asked, “And from the telegraph?”
He replied, “Every word costs.”
“And from the locomotive?”
“Hesitate for a moment and you could lose the whole journey.”
