The clock is ticking, time is passing. Suddenly, everyone is talking about discovering roots… Yes, genealogy uncovers data, but data are just the plain, simple facts. A story, though, captivates readers, lifting us beyond those vital statistics. A story takes us on a journey; it tells of challenges, choices, and triumphs.
At Dor V'Dor Legacies – we endeavor to capture that story; to bring life and energy to those names and facts, to those statistics and photographs, to those maps and documents. At Dor V'Dor we help unlock the past, open new chapters, creating immeasurable satisfaction by transforming memories, feelings and recordings into the written word.
With this gift of sharing your story or your parents' and grandparents' stories with your children and grandchildren, we help you produce a professional permanent journal while establishing an indelible bond with your loved ones.
It is your everlasting legacy.
From generation to generation… with Dor V'Dor Legacies.
Sincerely,
Your Story. Your Legacy. For Posterity.
".זכר ימות עולם בינו שנות דר ודר שאל אביך ויגדך זקניך ויאמרו לך"
"Remember the days of old; reflect upon the years of generations. Ask your father, and he will tell you; your elders, and they will inform you."
(Devarim 32:7)

At Dor V'Dor Legacies you get to choose the package that best suits you and your family. Whether it's a memoir, full-fledged biography, a particular memory, a tribute or commemorative journal, or even if you prefer to start simply with an audio recording – the choice is yours.
A Dor V'Dor Personal Biography captures your family's story beginning with your parents' childhood, youth, engagement, marriage and continues through their childrearing years including familial, work and community experiences. A Dor V'Dor Personal Biography combines family history with some world history, family stories, photos, recipes and any other memories, resulting in a professional leather or leatherette-bound inspirational journal.
Through Dor V'Dor Commemorative Journals we interview family members, coworkers and friends of the deceased who are enthusiastic about sharing their memories. These recordings are transcribed and organized into a bound journal that can be presented at a yahrtzeit, or anytime. More importantly, it will serve as a lasting memorial tribute of your loved one.
Is there a special birthday of a special someone? Is there an educator in your life who left a lasting impression, or pioneered new paths in the field of education? Is there an organization whose dedicated members deserve a tribute of gratitude for their years of devotion or a community member who serves as an inspiration and role model? At Dor V'Dor we give you the opportunity to express your gratitude by presenting your hero or heroine with a Dor V'Dor Tribute Gift Certificate. We will arrange a convenient time to interview this special person and we'll conduct interviews with other willing community members. These interviews will be pooled together to create a beautiful journal that serves as an inspiration and an expression of your gratitude.
A Dor V'Dor Slice of Life is just that, a slice of life. This is your opportunity to remember and relive a specific event or time in your life and have it recorded and professionally written. You and your loved ones can savor those experiences (and what you gained from them) for generations to come.
At Dor V'Dor we recognize that every company has a story to tell. Someone planted a seed, nurtured it throughout the years, helping it grow and flourish. Let's discover the people behind those desks, the names behind the letterheads. Dor V'Dor will write your corporate history, focusing on those builders and their mission, turning your company history into a beautifully written effective piece that serves as an incentive to your employees and a welcoming message to future clients.
A Dor V'Dor Recording is an audio recording of the interview, conducted and facilitated by our experienced personal biographer to record your family member's voice and memories – even if you are not yet ready to have the recording transcribed and written into book form. This can be saved for a later date, or can be cherished just the way it is.
