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.
