Doroteinu / L J Generations

DOROTEINU (previously LJ Generations) was established in 1994 by Liberal Judaism (then known as the ULPS) to find ways to ensure that our Synagogues are aware of, and are able to respond to, the changing needs of our ageing membership.

Over the past ten years, DOROTEINU has expanded its original brief into an intergenerational objective, and its current aim is to guide each community to a point where there is understanding and co-operation between the generations, so that members of all ages can achieve a fulfilling and productive role in congregational life.

The annual DOROTEINU Shabbat is an opportunity for all generations to join together for a special service in each Synagogue, to demonstrate our commitment to these ideals.

The Generations Committee consists of representatives of most of Liberal Judaism’s congregations, and acts as a centre of competence and as a clearinghouse for information.

The Committee meets three times a year to review its work, to exchange information about intergenerational events in our communities, and to work together to plan future events.

Specialist speakers are often invited to talk to the Committee about different aspects of its work. Committee recommendations are passed on to congregations, and many have been accepted and adopted.

The Committee maintains close contact with all Liberal Judaism’s congregations, and has collaborated with both Reform Judaism and Jewish Care.
The Coordinator is Alan Lester.
Rabbis Barbara Borts and Rebecca Qassim Birk represent the Rabbinic Conference.
