A little storefront synagogue west of Boca Raton has received a big bequest after battling with national Jewish organizations over the legacy of a South Carolina philanthropist. Congregation Shaarei Kodesh, a Conservative synagogue at 19785 Hampton Drive, will get $2.1 million from the estate of Nathaniel Rosenfeld, who died in 1997. The money was not to be distributed until the death of his wife, Hannah, who died in 2012
