Albom makes a visit to his former home town in New Jersey, where Rabbi Lewis has served a congregation for about 50 years.

Nevertheless, Rabbi Lewis says he is the one to do the job, and over the next eight years, Albom makes several visits back home and even attends some Sabbath services, where the good rabbi is determined to continue working and inspiring his flock even as his health declines.
