L'Dor V'Dor - From Generation to Generation

“L’dor V’dor.” The phrase translates as “from generation to generation,” but its implications are more complex. It is a part of Hebrew prayers and means we are not just responsible for ourselves, but we are meant to do something for others, especially for young people, to tell them the stories of ages past.

 

"These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates."

Deuteronomy 6:6-9 (NIV)
