In Episode 41 of Lamplighters: Stories From Chabad Emissaries On The Jewish Frontier, reporter/producer Gary Waleik presents the story of Rabbi Yossi and Rebbetzin Ilana Bassman, co-Directors of Bader Hillel High, a Milwaukee-area Jewish high school with an innovative approach to education and a diverse group of Jewish learners.
