I Have a Light is an exposition presenting traditional Jewish culture from the perspective of a young viewer. The name is derived form the traditional Jewish song, Nerli, Nerli, which is sung during the initiation of lights on the Chanuka holiday. Therefore, children are depicted as little suns, which gradually light up eight lights. Each of the lights tells a tale from history. The exposition is second in the What Are We Like or Dialogues about Tolerance cycle.
