After the death of her beloved husband, Jack, Chavi’s children and grandchildren gather around her to grieve – and drive each other crazy. As the family prepares for the funeral, questions about the origin and purpose of traditions arise. As each family member seeks comfort in their own way, they uncover where their own faith comes from and what truly unites them as a family. Steeped in Jewish humour and culture, this heartfelt and funny home-grown story asks what it means to be Jewish in a modern, prairie family.
