Description

A family visits their beloved bubbe during Hanukkah, where she mistakenly eats a dreidel thinking it’s a bagel, leading to an insatiable appetite for festive foods and objects. As the family struggles to manage her gluttony, they hope to reconnect with her by the last night of Chanukah. The story humorously incorporates parodies of famous artworks, adding a cultural layer to this Jewish take on the classic folk song.
