Lighting up the Neighborhood by Cantor Lee Degani

Light Display Front Entrance Boca Winds

It was in 2015 that my husband who is a rabbi decided he wanted to do a mitzvah (a good deed) and volunteered to put up the Christmas Lights at the entrance of our neighborhood. With being a novice at displaying lights he was quite proud of the result!! 

And so began the yearly tradition of the rabbi of the neighborhood putting up the Christmas Lights for Heritage Square! By the third year he began getting helpers and each year the display improved. With even more volunteers coming forward this year the display is spectacular! But its true radiance is from everyone coming together, of the honoring of all ideas with kindness and consideration. 

Heritage Square Lights

There is something so magical in seeing the lights everywhere! Perhaps it is the reminder of who we really all are at the core, Infinite Beings of Light here to create a world where we all honor and care for each other. And just like the holiday lights, this radiance can manifest in so many beautiful ways. 

Especially in these days it seems we all crave this reminder. When there was an issue this year with the company hired to put the lights up at the entrance of our development, Boca Winds, there was an outcry from all the neighborhoods. We had to have the lights! 

There didn’t seem to be a solution until two volunteers from our neighborhood  with the resources as an electrician and landscape designer stepped forward. The Light Displays have never been so beautiful! For their radiance not only includes the absolute Love Daniel and Chris have put into their creations at our two entrances  but the outpouring of gratitude from everyone.

The very same day that Daniel and Chris volunteered, Dec. 7th, my neighbor, Gina, captured this  picture over our neighborhood. I knew it was a message that the angels were adding their radiance to the Lights as well!

When Rabbi David as a member of the homeowners board  thanked Daniel and Chris they replied, “Thank you for letting us do this.” How blessed are we to live in our community with our very own angels!  

However you celebrate, Happy Holidays to all! May we all manifest  the Light of who we truly are in the upcoming New Year! 

Rabbi David’s grandson knows who we really are!

Love Always,

Cantor Lee
