Items related to Chelm for the Holidays
Celebrating Jewish holidays has never been sillier than in Chelm, the Village of Fools! While the Chelmites try to solve problems―like outsmarting bees to get Rosh Hashanah honey, and keeping menorah candles lit without enough oil―their foolishness causes even more chaos. Enjoy these tall tales, old and new, one for each of ten holidays throughout the Jewish year.

Review:
Valerie Estelle Frankel is the author of more than fifty books. She has taught children of all ages and is a former San Jose State University professor. She enjoys dancing, acting and creating costumes. She lives in California.
Sonja Wimmer loves painting pictures and telling stories. After studying and working some years as a designer in her hometown Munich and Brussels, she decided to pack her suitcase and move to Barcelona to study Illustration at the "Llotja" Arts and Crafts School. Since then she lives between brushes and all kinds of wonderful tales, working as freelance illustrator for publishing houses and other clients around the world.
Hannukah is just one of 10 Jewish occasions that get the comic treatment in "Chelm for the Holidays" (Kar-Ben, 68 pages, $15.99), a collection of new and old tall tales by Valerie Estelle Frankel. Set in Chelm, the "village of fools" of Eastern European Jewish tradition, the stories feature oafs and blockheads with names such as Uri the Unwise, Fishel the Foolish, and Simon the Simpleminded. On the eve of Passover, for instance, some of these fellows get the idea that they can't possibly make the perforated, unleavened bread known as matzoh without buying a supply of holes. "Could we use bagel holes?" wonders Leib the Lackwit. "Of course not!" the Elders thunder. "Too large." Fortunately, a poor couple's empty flour sack supplies the missing ingredient in this slim volume nicely suited for short holiday read-alouds.--Wall Street Journal, December 6, 2019
