By Rabbi Shoshana Nambi, Moran Yogev (Illustrator)
Can Shoshi gather all she needs for Shabbat in time?
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.
“Hurry up Jajja,” Shoshi urges her grandfather on as they travel to bring their coffee crop to the local market in Uganda. But in her rush will she remember to buy everything the family needs for their Shabbat dinner? At the end of the day Shoshi realizes that the true beauty in this weekly celebration can be found in taking the time to savor community.
