L'Dor v'Dor, Part I: Aliyah

by Lojo Simon

L’Dor v’Dor explores assimilation, identity and what we inherit from the generations who have gone before us though the story of one ordinary American family on the morning of their daughter’s bat mitzvah. This coming-of-age play is the first part of a trilogy featuring a diverse family in contemporary America.

    “

    The Jewish Plays Project recommends L'DOR v'DOR as a Semi-Finalist for the 11th annual Jewish Playwriting Contest. Our community of readers highly enjoyed how this play vocalized the inner struggles of a biracial Jewish multi-generation family in a way that feels fresh and different. This play asks:'what can be gleaned from past generations as we move forward with our lives?' and addresses the difficulty in moving forward. L'DOR v'DOR rose to the top 20 out of 250 plays and we hope this play swiftly finds opportunities to reach new audiences.

    A moving look at all that has come before and how we move forward in a continual fight against facism and racism for a more just world. Well done.
