Next Dor St. Louis

Karen Solomon Young Adult Service Initiative

Let's face it, whether you grew up in St. Louis, or are moving here for the first time, meeting people here can be hard, especially in the Jewish community. That's where we come in.

Next Dor (Hebrew for generation) is a vibrant center of activity that builds community for young Jewish adults. The programs, activities, and events at Next Dor are created by young adults and community organizations specifically for young adults.

Located in St. Louis City, the house serves as a catalyst to create thriving Jewish young adult community. The space is open to individuals, informal groups, and existing organizations.

If you have an idea for how to use the space or are looking for a place for a Shabbat dinner, an insider guide to St. Louis, or just to meet new people, please contact us.
