Editorial Review

“The city of Chelm, ‘Village of Fools,’ is the setting of this Jewish folktale. Everyone who has tasted Faigel’s latkes dreams of them. But she can’t remember how many potatoes, eggs or onions are to be used in the recipe so her husband runs to ask the rabbi for advice: The rabbi says to use all of them. When the latkes are done, they realize they cannot eat them all so the whole village is invited to eat their latkes. A note on Chelm stories is explained at the end of the book. Ages: 4-9.” – Detroit Jewish News
