November 7–9, 2025

A weekend to celebrate, reflect, and connect

This fall, Brown alumni, students, faculty, and staff will gather on College Hill to celebrate the anniversary of Brown’s first Jewish graduates. During a weekend of lively social events, thought-provoking panels, and inspiring seminars, we’ll honor the resilience, diversity, and lasting impact of the Jewish community at Brown. 

L’Dor V’Dor

The theme of this event, L’dor V’dor—“from generation to generation”—reflects the enduring legacy of Jewish life on campus, the vibrant contributions of today’s Jewish community, and the creation of a collective vision for the future. From the traditions passed down through the decades to the achievements that continue to shape a shared story, this event celebrates the connections that have bound the Jewish community to one another and to Brown across time.
