L’Dor V’Dor Society
L'dor V'dor:
Ensuring an Inclusive Jewish Home for Every Generation
Non-profits cannot survive, let alone thrive, without an endowment. In this, the LJCC is no different.
In 2023, the LJCC received a bequest from beloved member, Anita Herzfeld. This gift allowed us to establish the L'dor V'dor fund. For the first time in our seventy year history, the LJCC has an endowment: security for the future and an assurance that we can continue our mission to be an egalitarian, inclusive, and thriving center for Jewish life.
Each generation of Lawrencians deserves the opportunity to worship, learn, and grow Jewishly in community with others. We hope you will consider contributing to this egalitarian Jewish future by joining the L'dor V'dor Society and including the LJCC in your estate plans. If you intend to make such a gift, please reach out to treasurer Shelley Skie or Director Lara Giordano (or any board member) so that we can connect you with resources and be prepared to receive and make the best use of your gift.

Meet two courageous men who fought to survive the horrors of the Holocaust and build new lives of hope in Kansas. Teenagers Lou Frydman, a Holocaust survivor, and Jarek Piekalkiewicz, a Polish resistance fighter, both defied daunting odds and lost everyone and everything dear to them. Despite their personal tragedies, each summoned bravery to build a new life in Kansas. How does one make a life in a new land? Their stories, shared through the broad history of the Holocaust, World War II, and the rise of Polish resistance, demonstrate their valor and hope in finding new meaning to life. This presentation is based on the book Needle in the Bone authored by presenter Caryn Mirriam-Goldberg. -

Join Dr. Samuel Brody (KU Professor of Religion and Jewish Studies), Rabbi Doug Alpert (Kol Ami of KC), Kelson Bohnet (trial lawyer with Death Penalty Defense Unit of the Kansas Board of Indigents’ Defense Services), and Donna Schneweis (chairperson of the Kansas Coalition Against the Death Penalty) for a discussion of the ethics and consequences of incarceration and state execution. Professor Brody and Rabbi Alpert will situate these contemporary practices within a Jewish context. Mr. Bohnet will offer a legal perspective on the history of the death penalty in the US and Kansas and Ms. Schneweis will talk about activist efforts to abolish the death penalty in Kansas.
