Doug Barton and the Jewish Federation invite you to raise funds to purchase Doug’s sculpture, L’dor V'dor, for the Jewish community. This will be a unique sale in that it will be a community-wide purchase of this piece of art, with all proceeds being donated to JFS.
"L’dor V'dor" is the Hebrew phrase for “from generation to generation.” Doug’s Indiana limestone sculpture connects us to the beautiful concept in Judaism that evokes emotional images of the Torah being lovingly passed down from one generation to the next. L’dor V'dor refers to continuity, to the responsibility of passing on spiritual knowledge and cultural traditions from generation to generation in order to sustain the customs, heritage, and collective memory of the Jewish people.
You are welcome to participate in this collective fundraising effort by making a gift of any size in multiples of Chai: $18, $36, $54, $72, $90, ...$180, and beyond.
L'Dor V'Dor sculpture donations will be accepted through Thanksgiving.
To prime the pump I’m donating $180. The board of directors from Doug's term as Federation president (1998-2000) will also be making a generous donation to thank Doug for his ongoing leadership, and to wish him and Sandy all the best in their permanent move to Florida.
