Soosie the Horse that Saved Shabbat

What will happen when Jacob gets ill and cannot deliver the challahs to his Jerusalem neighbors for Shabbat? Every Shabbat Jacob and his horse Soosie set out to deliver Ezra and Esther’s delicious challahs to their Jerusalem neighbors. But what happens when Jacob is sick? Will everyone get their challah in time for Shabbat? This heart-warming story is based on the history of Angel Bakery, the oldest commercial bakery in Israel.
