In a frozen winter, the foolish villagers of Chelm tell stories about past Chanukahs to keep warm. Fun listening for all ages.

CD Winner of 2007 Storytelling World Storytelling Magazine Honor!

"Lethal Latkes," by the way, is not a murder mystery. It concerns some awful-tasting latkes (potato pancakes) and what you might call another Hanukkah miracle: love."
-- New York Times

"Listeners of all cultural backgrounds will be entertained by these tales."
