A young boy and his pioneer family move to the desert where they are the only Jewish family in their small "Wild West" town. Living among strangers without their extended family proves challenging. Every Shabbat, Mama complains there is "too much soup, not enough family." To help overcome Mama's homesickness, the boy invites their new neighbors for Shabbat dinner. By honoring the Jewish value of inviting guests home, the family creates a sense of community.
