We Jews love to say "l'dor va-dor" - "from generation to generation." What does this actually mean? What really takes place in a generational transmission of values and teachings?
Rabbis Gordon and Ethan Tucker, father and son, have shaped the last 50 years of egalitarian Judaism. Their joint presentation will explore how the different landscapes that each encountered necessitated divergent paths toward the same ideological goals. Their story is our on-going story--and brings the words "l'dor va-dor" to life.
