Sholem Stein and Shorty Petterstein, while not related, are in actuality too well known to need any characteriological discourse, but it is deeply felt that a short essay (From Fantasy EP 4051) by the famous German jazz writer, Sixt Von Arnim, deserves reprinting.[1]

Sholem Stein is the name of a fictional character and mystification created by American humorist Henry Jacobs and Woody Leafer for their radio show Music and Folkore, a radio show dedicated to world music.

Henry Jacobs often brought experts in certain ethnic music onto the show to provide background information. When no experts were available, he would not infrequently fake it - most notably in the case of "Sholem Stein", a putative Hebrew musicologist who claimed that calypso music had deep Rabbinical meanings.

He was "interviewed" by Lenny Bruce.
