As he eats a latke, Chaz teaches about how his play of the meaning of Chanukah at the synagogue made the front page. Boris then explains that the true miracle is how long he's survived since the latkes have obstructed his family's arteries for over two millenia. Didi explains to him that on Chanukah, the Jewish people fry them as well as donuts to remind them of the oil used in the miracle of the first Chanukah. In the kitchen, Didi is cooking latkes, and Chaz questions why people make latkes out of potatoes. Angelica is glad the story is over, and finds for the remote control so that she can watch A Very Cynthia Christmas, unaware that Spike is sitting on it. Boris, who is asleep on the couch, awakens when he hears about the latkes, and explains how much he loves Chanukah. The story is suddenly cut short when Didi asks Minka for her help making latkes in the kitchen. Judah bravely led the Israelites against the more powerful armies of King Antiochius. Outraged, Judah stepped forward to challenge the king. One day, as he was privately trying to read the stories his forefathers read in a dark cave, King Antiochus' royal advisor found out and confiscated them. Although some people thought this new way of life was fine, Judah was not one of them. Long ago, in the land of Israel, the Israelites lived peacefully with the Greeks, until one day, a new Greek king, Antiochus V Eupator, came and wanted everyone to wear what he wore and read what he read, as well as worship his gods. The Biblical-themed cartoon begins with Minka is storytelling with the babies about the first Chanukah. The babies are convinced that the rival is "the meany of Chanukah" and the babies are determined to get the "meany", while Stu makes a mechanical menorah (candlabre to put the eight candles of Chanukah), he has to go all the way to the synagogue where the play is at to bring his menorah. After Grandma Minka tells some of the story of Chanukah, Grandpa Boris was infuriated after hearing that at last minute, Boris was replaced by an old rival for the role of King Antiochus, ".the meaning of Chanukah" in a Chanukah play.
