A light for one is a light for a hundred

A suitable illustration of the Talmudic statement Ohr L'echad Ohr Lemayah. Many people can benefit from the same light that illuminates the life of one individual without it costing the individual any loss whatsoever. Let's share the light of the Torah with others. They too will enjoy its sweetness while we will not lose.

when the man broke the lighthouses light then the community helped him and then saved the boat. think that this shows that other peoples actions can affect the outcome of a situation.

The light in the lighthouse broke so the towns people came to help him light it up and save a ship.

In a community you have a certain job to help benefit the community and if someone can't fulfill that job or is in trouble you should help them. That is you responsibility in a community just like the people helped the lighthouse keeper when he was in trouble!

i liked how thelight house keeper risked his life for the whole community, and then everybody pitched in a little, and made a big difference, and saved the town!

I think that this video shows how much of a community they are. This is something that not only one person can do, not even two or three, it had to be done as a community, which is what they did. That is one of the reasons that being part of a community is so important
