                              The vision of Dor Hadash (A New Generation) is to make Judaism relevant and meaningful for today's Jews and for future generations. Our mission is to create a caring, Jewish community in accordance with the values of Reconstructionism and to inspire exploration of Jewish spirituality. Learn more.
