Who was Boris the Terrible?
Boris the Terrible owned the only grocery store in Chelm, a mostly Jewish, English speaking town. Chelm was isolated from other communities, because it was surrounded by a ring of active volcanoes. The only way in and out was by helicopter.
Boris did not like Jews, and he especially hated their religion, but he wanted to keep his monopoly on groceries in Chelm, so he was forced to learn just enough to stock his store. See Rosh Hashanah, Hanukkah, Tu Bishvat, Purim, and Passover to find out about his other misadventures.
