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.

JanJanuary 30 , 2025Healthy aging, lifestyle medicine and plant-based nutrition (Hybrid)
Thursday, Jan 30th 7:00p to 8:30p
The novelist and poet Wendell Berry once commented that “people are fed by the food industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the health industry, which pays no attention to food.” The new field of lifestyle medicine is changing that, getting back to the basics that are so important in maintaining health and well-being. Dr. Friedman, a board-certified geriatrician and lifestyle medicine physician, will discuss the pillars of lifestyle medicine – especially whole-food plant-based nutrition – and how they promote healthy aging. -

Motzei Shabbat, Feb 22nd 7:00p to 9:00p
I Do Not Want Your Sympathy: Shiva, Snacks, and the Art of Remembering - What is comfort? What do mourners need, and is memory really a blessing? Join us for an evening of art and discussion with local author-illustrator (and former pastry chef) Marilyn Naron. The LJCC will exhibit Marilyn’s recent art commissioned for the Kansas Book Festival, including the central piece “I Do Not Want Your Sympathy,” a triptych painted and collaged entirely from sympathy cards her family received after the death of her sister in 1996. Marilyn is currently at work on an illustrated memoir, “How to Draw a Sister,” and her talk will explore how food, sympathy, memory, and Jewish death rituals come together in that project.
