Being the only Jew on the tourist board in her small Vermont town, Abby Cohen was appointed to plan the Hanukkah Festival. As the surrounding towns focused mainly on Christmas the group decided it would draw more attention and a larger crowd by creating something unique to the area. With her coffee cafe barely making ends meet Abby could not resist the opportunity to improve her bottom line. Seth, one of her most annoying but loyal customers offers to help her find the best vendors if Abby would do him one little favor. Come to NY and pretend to be his girlfriend for one week. Apparently - because they worried about him constantly - Seth had quietly led his loving parents to believe he was in a serious relationship with a nice Jewish girl. Even though his overzealous kindness tended to be annoying, he could prove very helpful with the festival, so she agreed. Exploring the twinkling lights of New York City, Abby is reminded of the community she used to love, at the same time terrified of bumping into her past, namely her parents whom she hasn’t had contact with for years. Devouring delectable latkes and sugary holiday doughnuts, Seth’s friends and family turn out to be a warm welcome to a challah-day she had almost forgotten. A delicious romp through the eight nights of lights. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
