SPIRIT: Dor L’Dor: Jewish Resilience as a Pathway to Lifelong Brain Health & Prevention

Dor L’Dor: Jewish Resilience as a Pathway to Lifelong Brain Health & Prevention

The Dor L’Dor model—six pillars embedded in Jewish living that support resilience of the mind and spirit across the lifespan: Kehilla, Torah, Neshama, Shabbat, Chessed, and Mesorah, will be shared. We’ll connect these pillars to what research suggests protects brain health in later life—through community, lifelong learning, meaning, restorative rhythm, kindness, and intergenerational connection. The session will be practical, hopeful, and grounded in familiar Jewish experience.
