Shoshi and her grandfather bring their coffee crop to the local market in Uganda. But will they get everything they need in time for Shabbat? A joyful celebration of the Abayudaya Jewish community and their traditions.

"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.
