Luzerne County Beyond Oil: The path to en-light-enment

Luzerne County Beyond Oil: The path to en-light-enment: "ABINGTONS – Rabbi Daniel Swartz, a Clarks Summit resident and spiritual leader of Temple Hesed in Scranton, knows what it means to be energy efficient. He drives a Toyota Prius, one of the nation’s top selling hybrid gas-electric vehicles, and powers with energy efficient bulbs, many lights, including the temple’s electric Chanukah menorah.

The trend towards efficiency began last year, Swartz said, when nine compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFL) were put into the menorah. “We started it last December to begin setting our own house in order,” he said. “There was a national campaign that we participated in called ‘A Light of the Nations’ based on a quote from the prophet Isaiah. It’s often quoted in a metaphorical sense, but they looked at it quite literally.”"
