About Doros Yisrael - DOROT
Every thriving Jewish neighborhood begins with a vision — a dream to create a place where Torah, chesed, and community life flourish together.
That dream is the mission of Doros Yisrael, known as DOROT - a movement dedicated to building strong Jewish communities, one family at a time.
Our Mission
To strengthen Jewish life by supporting education, community, and families — one initiative, one home, and one soul at a time.
We believe that the heart of Klal Yisrael beats strongest within its communities. By empowering schools, families, and local institutions, Doros Yisrael creates sustainable frameworks that ensure the continued growth of Torah and Jewish values for generations to come.
Every initiative we launch is built with a single goal: to make a real, lasting difference.
Our Story
In 2018, under the guidance of esteemed Rabbanim, a group of devoted askanim came together to answer a growing need:
Many emerging Jewish neighborhoods lacked the essential structure, institutions, and programs that allow Torah life to truly thrive.
After years of being involved in numerous community projects, the founding board — at the heartfelt request of respected Torah leaders — recognized it was time to create something lasting.
Something organized. Something powerful
Board of Directors
Our board is composed of visionary leaders and dedicated philanthropists who share one mission: ensuring the success and sustainability of Torah life in our communities.

Our Programs and Impact
From the very beginning, Doros Yisrael has been about results, not recognition.
Every project is born from a real need and driven by the same passion: to transform lives and build stronger communities.

Building Institutions for the Next Generations
Doros Yisrael is devoted to establishing and supporting new Torah schools in communities that need them most.
Each school we help build becomes a cornerstone of growth — a place where children learn, families connect, and the future of Klal Yisrael takes root.
By creating strong educational foundations today, we ensure that the next generations will thrive in Torah, values, and community life.
Yom Tov Food Distribution
In preparation for every Yom Tov, Doros Yisrael coordinates an extensive food distribution campaign, ensuring that hundreds of families can celebrate with simchah and menuchas hanefesh.
From staples to festive delicacies, every package is filled with care and delivered with warmth — allowing parents to focus on the spirit of Yom Tov and children to experience its joy without worry or hardship.
Kimcha D’Pischa Initiative
For Pesach, & Sukkot, Doros Yisrael provides Kimcha D’Pischa gift cards to families across multiple neighborhoods.
Rather than simply giving, we empower recipients to shop with dignity and independence — selecting the items their families need most for Yom Tov.
This program embodies our belief that true chesed uplifts both giver and receiver, strengthening the bonds of compassion within Klal Yisrael.
Matzah Distribution
Each year, as Pesach approaches, Doros Yisrael organizes a large-scale Shmura Matzah Distribution, ensuring that every Jewish home can fulfill the mitzvah of eating matzah with simchah and pride.
Thousands of boxes of premium, hand-baked shmura matzah are carefully prepared and delivered to families in need — a symbol of unity, freedom, and shared heritage.
What begins as a logistical effort becomes something far greater: a heartfelt expression of Ahavas Yisrael that brings light, warmth, and holiness into countless homes.
Chesed Programs
Chavrusa Program
Hundreds of volunteer melamdim and lomdim meet weekly in shuls to learn one-on-one with those eager to grow in Torah. This initiative has touched thousands of lives, spreading Torah and achdus across neighborhoods and generations.
Our Philosophy
True success is not measured by numbers or headlines — it’s measured in changed lives, revived communities, and rekindled hope.
At Doros Yisrael, every act of kindness, every class, and every family supported is part of a larger mission: to ensure that the future of Klal Yisrael stands strong, proud, and united.
We don’t seek publicity — we seek results.
We don’t chase recognition — we build impact.
And we don’t just dream about stronger communities — we create them.
