In this episode, we follow Sophia as she celebrates the Jewish festival of Hanukkah with her family. 

Sophia begins by making candles with her mum. They burn these candles later on while celebrating Hanukkah. As part of the celebrations, the family plan on hosting a party with the rest of their family. Dad and Sofia go to a Jewish shop, where they buy lots of traditional food and ingredients for the party. When Sophia returns home she helps her mum make authentic potato latkes, before heading to the synagogue for a big party where they light a Hanukkiah.

After the synagogue, it's party time! Sophia greets all of her family members as they arrive, and they all finish by exchanging gifts with one another and enjoying the rest of the celebrations.
