L'Dor vaDor

Dear Friends,

As Parashat Toldot shares important stories from the second and third generations of the Jewish people, and as the name of the portion itself means "generations," we share a deeply meaningful song written by the incredibly talented singer-songwriter Josh Nelson called "L'dor Vador," "from generation to generation."

It speaks of the beauty and power of our faith, tradition, and stories; how we have struggled to and succeeded in guarding and protecting them, and bestowing them upon the next generations, fulfilling the commandment, "v'shinantam l'vanecha v'dibarta bam", (ושננתם לבניך ודברת בם) "that "you shall teach them to your children and speak of them" wherever you go. Please enjoy this song from my friend Josh, and please do explore his other musical offerings wherever you listen to music.

Shavua tov!
