Sophie and her brother are looking forward to Hanukkah with its twinkling candles and fried treats each night. But there is only a small amount of cooking oil left in the jar. The family is snowed in at their cozy cottage, so can’t get more. Will they be able to figure out a way to make the cooking oil last for all the eight nights of Hanukkah? Can they make it a “miracle jar”?
