As a wealthy man grows old, he begins to consider the legacy he will leave behind for his community.

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.
