In Uganda, Shoshi and her grandfather race against time to sell their coffee crop at the market. As Shabbat approaches, Shoshi must ensure she gathers everything needed for the family dinner. Will her haste cause her to forget something crucial, or will she discover the true essence of community and celebration? Join Shoshi on a journey that blends tradition with the vibrant spirit of the Abayudaya Jewish community, where the heart of Shabbat lies not just in preparation, but in the joy of togetherness.
