A Celebration of L’dor V’dor
Jewish tradition teaches us l’dor v’dor—from generation to generation. Grandparents have a unique role in carrying that tradition forward.
Whether you live around the corner or across the country, the love, wisdom, stories and traditions you share help your grandchildren understand where they come from and shape who they will become.
At the Calgary Jewish Academy, we are grateful for the important role you play in our students’ lives and welcome you as part of our school community.
Generations Day
EXPERIENCE CJA THROUGH YOUR GRANDCHILD’S EYES
One of CJA’s most cherished traditions, Generations Day (previously Grandparents & Grandpals Day) celebrates l’dor v’dor across the CJA school community. It is a truly special morning that celebrates the bond between CJA students and the grandparents and special adults who are part of their lives.
Generations Day includes a special student-led celebration, a Shabbat program, coffee and conversation, and time with your grandchild through shared activities around the school that celebrate the traditions, values, and connections passed from one generation to the next.
If a grandparent is unable to attend, students are welcome to invite another relative or special adult in their life.
