Participants will bake challah bread with Holocaust survivors. While braiding the dough, participants will engaging in intergenerational dialogue with Holocaust survivors. A community storytelling and bread-baking event. In this program, Holocaust survivors (and others with a personal connection to the Holocaust) are seated at tables with students, community members, and other participants to share personal stories while braiding and baking challah bread together. The name for this event is a play on the Hebrew phrase "l'dor v'dor," which means "from generation to generation." Thus, L'Dough V'Dough programs are meant to cultivate deep relationships and forms of remembrance across generations. It is not lost on the partiicipants that they are the last generation that will be able to hear the survivors firsthand accounts of the Holocaust. Students walked away with some important lessons from the survivors, knowing that it will be up to them to make sure the stories are passed onto the next generation.

L’Dough V’Dough will be a fully in-person event with limited seating capacity. All participants will receive two small loaves of un-baked challah to bring home with them at the end of the event.
