As a wealthy man grows old, he begins to consider the legacy he will leave behind for his community. He decides to build a beautiful synagogue – but intentionally constructs it without and lamps or lighting. His legacy to the townspeople, it turns out, is not just an architectural wonder, but a valuable lesson about the light we bring to our own communities and to the world. This story is told by Cantor Ellen Dreskin.
