Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.
Presents ten holiday stories set in the tiny Jewish village of Chelm, where it is said that the angels distributing silliness throughout the world tipped their bowls and spilled it all.
The honeybees of Chelm : a Rosh Hashanah story -- The fast that almost didn't end : a Yom Kippur story -- The very best guest : a Sukkot story -- The oiliest miracle : a Hanukkah story -- The day the birds flew down : a Tu B'Shevat story -- The queen Esther mix-up : a Purim story -- Holey matzah : a Passover story -- It will get better : a Lag b'Omer story -- Elijah brings the blintzes : a Shavuot story -- The disappearing challah : a Shabbat story.
