She welcomes the bear inside to play the dreidel game, light the menorah, and enjoy a scrumptious meal.
However, after her well-fed guest leaves, theres a knock at the doorits the rabbi, and all of Braynas other friends, arriving for dinner. But there are no latkes leftand together, they finally figure out who really ate them.
