Imagine if a single child, one by one, along a pattern on the globe, ushered in Shabbat by lighting the candles. Moment by moment, beginning with a single light, the entire world would be aglow. This magic of light, in our mind’s eye, is the reality of the work that Chabad shluchim, emissaries, bring by sharing the messages of Torah with Jews around the world.
