The high holidays are a great time to spend with family and have fun with people who are close to us. This time also allows us to do good things for those who are alone during the holiday season.

Dor Ledor (‘Generation to Generation’) is a social organization whose goal is to work towards bridging the gap that has emerged over time between Israel’s younger generation and older generation.

There are approximately 850,000 eldery people living in the state of Israel today, about a quarter of them under conditions of social isolation. The Dor Ledor organization is based upon the understanding that a stronger and closer connection between the generations will help to alleviate the problem of loneliness among the older population, to enhance the perception of the elderly throughout Israeli society, and to counteract the prejudices which arose due to the gap between the generations.

The connection is made by the organization, creating a personal and direct bond between the younger participant and the older participant which enriches both the young and the older generations.
