Once a month, Jews step out of our homes, synagogues, batei midrash (houses of learning) to breathe the cool night air and raise our eyes to the heavens. We then proceed to say a lot of strange things, do a little dance and Definitely Not Pray To The Moon. What, when and why is kiddush levanah (sanctification of the moon)? We’ll learn some Torah together to find out.

What does a techno groove have to do with a hundred-year-old Yiddish recording?

Hear some stories about Chelm, the 'village of idiots', in Eddie's own shaggy-dog style - some clever, comical, pathetic, poignant and idiotic. Some of the stories are legends, but many are made up to present-day Chelm, now a pleasant tourist centre. Try to complete the limerick: 'There was a young man from Chell-em' and bring it with you!
