Dear Friends,
More and more, we hear about creating senior-friendly communities for the unprecedented
number of older adults who are remaining in their homes, despite the challenges of urban
living. Fortunately, DOROT’s founders embraced that vision 38 years ago, choosing to get to
know their elderly neighbors instead of ignoring them and changing the outlook for countless
New Yorkers.
As a result, DOROT has become a resource for others who want to the follow in their footsteps.
The agency’s dedicated staff makes regular connections and ongoing relationships with trusted
volunteers possible for seniors who could easily remain out of touch with their community. As
a volunteer recently shared with us “Aging sure is hard. I honestly think the Friendly Visiting program is one of the most
important things… because people need socialization and stimulation. And they need to know they are cared about.”
I am inspired by the enthusiastic commitment of DOROT’s volunteers, from the individuals and groups representing
communities throughout New York who gather to deliver packages to homebound seniors four times a year, to the stellar
young professionals comprising Next Dor, who recently gathered (in my home) to pledge their support for the vulnerable
elderly. Whether it is a willingness to prepare and serve a meal at our transitional housing facility, deliver a birthday
cake and visit with a senior to celebrate this milestone, teach a senior to Skype or regularly visit a new older friend, our
dedicated volunteers improve the quality of life of so many older adults in our community.
Our honoree, Alan Laytner, embodies DOROT’s commitment to enhancing the lives of older adults. We extend our heartfelt
congratulations and gratitude to Alan and the graduating members of Next Generation for their devotion to creating an
inclusive community for our elders.
NANCY RANKIN
President, DOROT Board of Director
TIME AFTER TIME
Dear Friends,
Each year takes us closer to a future we never expected, giving the eldest among us longer lives in a
whole new world. For 38 years, DOROT’s leaders, volunteers, and supporters have remained focused
on honoring the older members of the community – sharing traditional values throughout changing times.
DOROT confronts the harsh challenges seniors face as they live longer with time-honored programs and
innovative initiatives that alleviate social isolation. I am grateful to our dedicated staff who work so hard
to provide excellent programs and services that serve older adults and bring the generations together.
Throughout the past year, we have engaged more students to get to know the seniors in their community.
I enjoy hearing the wonderful stories of how the young and old interact and engage with one another. It is exciting to learn how seniors
are embracing the tools of the digital age through music-sharing and computer tutoring, and are especially touched by the timeless bonds
seniors and youth volunteers make while participating in activities like sharing meals, discussing literature, and playing chess.
We are grateful for the dedication of our honoree, Alan Laytner, who has helped us shape DOROT’s vision of improving the lives and
health of the elderly. To the graduating members of our teen leadership board, Next Generation, thank you for mobilizing your peers
to creatively engage isolated seniors and bring critical attention to DOROT’s work. We extend our heartiest congratulations to these
committed young leaders and their families.
Deepest thanks to DOROT’s Board of Directors, the Benefit Chair, Joel Kazis, and the Committee members, and to our extraordinary
President, for this cherished celebration of the community of hope we create by bringing the generations together and envisioning a
brighter tomorrow for older adults.

TRADITIONS
Dear Friends,
Each year, DOROT supporters and friends gather at the Spring Benefit, which brings people together - thousands since DOROT’s
founding - to celebrate an honoree, to show pride in the year’s accomplishments, to demonstrate that caring for the elderly is a
priority and to show great respect for the intergenerational community of volunteers.
I am so pleased to welcome you all to this wonderful DOROT event. Your presence here demonstrates that DOROT’s mission is
important and matters to all of us.
Tonight is a special evening as we honor Alan Laytner, a dedicated leader of DOROT and of our community. Alan’s deep
commitment and loyalty to DOROT and to its mission sets an example for all of us. His generosity and concern for this community
along with his leadership on the Board has played a key role in the continuing excellence of the organization. I have known Alan
and his wife Rachelle for many years. When I first approached Alan to join the Board I knew that DOROT’s mission was a perfect
fit for him. Both Alan and Rachelle are dedicated leaders in our community. Alan’s work over many years with DOROT has guided
this organization and set a high standard for all of us. I am so pleased that we are honoring Alan at DOROT’s 38th Spring Benefit
this evening; it is a fitting tribute to a committed leader.
We are saluting a group of teens who have made DOROT a priority in their service to the community throughout high school. You will hear from Morgan Shear tonight,
an inspiring teen leader, along with her fellow graduating seniors on the Next Gen Board: Molly Kaiser, Elena Krasnoff, Jamie Lichtenstein, Jared Mandelbaum, Max
Slepian, and Carly Steckel.
This year we celebrate anniversaries of two exceptional programs: the 30th anniversary of University Without Walls, and the 25th anniversary of the Homelessness
Prevention Program. In addition to our ongoing programs, this year we launched an intergenerational chess program, piloted digital University Without Walls classes,
escorted seniors to musical and cultural events, and taught elders how to use iPads.
I extend my appreciation to DOROT’s Development Committee, chaired by Ethan Horwitz, and the members of tonight’s Benefit Committee and the DOROT Board. This
team of leaders created a festive gala event for our community and for our honoree and his family.
Enjoy the evening and please know that your presence is part of a tradition. We thank you for continuing what our founders created 38 years ago and look forward to
furthering the tradition for many years to come.
Sincerely,
JOEL KAZIS
Benefit Chair

A B O U T A L A N L AY T N E R
Even while pursuing an MFA at Columbia, Alan became increasingly engaged in the
family business. He soon joined full-time and within a few years, he had quadrupled the
size of the store.
“He loves business,” said his older brother, Mel. “He has always worked incredibly hard
and has a never-give-up intensity that is amazing. He brings that same drive to whatever
he does, whether it’s martial arts, textiles, or philanthropy.”
Alan began volunteering at DOROT after a chance meeting with Joel Kazis, a board
member, at a dinner for the Abraham Joshua Heschel School.
“DOROT appealed to me because it strives to give people dignity,” Alan said. “When
people grow older they often feel irrelevant and less needed. DOROT makes sure they
feel valued and lets them share their life experiences and memories with others. This may
be the age of ‘social networking,’ but social isolation is still a serious problem, especially
for many of our seniors.”
Essayist EB White famously wrote that the true New York native “takes the city for granted
and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable.” He gives New York its
“solidity and continuity.”
White could have been describing Alan Laytner.
Born in Manhattan and bred on the Upper West Side, Alan is a product of that
neighborhood: intellectually intense, gregarious -- and generous. He was educated
exclusively on the west side of Manhattan – from elementary and high school to college
(City College of New York) and graduate school (Columbia University). What’s more, the
family business, Laytner’s Linen & Home, has been an Upper West Side fixture since 1969,
when his parents, Joseph and Helen Laytner, converted their 400 square foot candy store
to a home furnishings shop.
“My parents were Holocaust Survivors who came here with two cardboard suitcases and
dreams of a better life for their children,” Alan said. “They set a high moral bar and an
intense work ethic for my brother and me. They had little patience for laziness or insincerity.”
At the time, “my father was at an age when many men start thinking of retiring,” Alan said.
“Instead, he was starting all over again in a totally unfamiliar business. Talk about setting
an example for your children!”
Alan was still in college when he negotiated a new store lease on behalf of his parents.
“The West Side was just awakening from the decline, grime and crime of the 1970’s,”
he said. “I thought it would be a mistake to move out just when the neighborhood was
taking off.”
He quickly involved his wife, Rachelle, and three young daughters in DOROT’s annual
Thanksgiving Banquets and seasonal Holiday Package Deliveries.
Alan served on DOROT’s Board of Directors for 10 years and has chaired the Program
Committee, which he particularly enjoyed. “It allowed me to help with the strategic planning
while adhering to the organization’s mission. It was a fascinating learning experience,
very inspirational and fun.” He credits late Board members Freddi Finegood ‫ ז״ל‬and Anne
Heyman ‫ ז״ל‬with “setting the tone and a standard of excellence for the organization.”
Alan also serves on the Board of Directors for the Hebrew Free Loan Society and sits on
the Microenterprise Committee, and is the co-chair of the Development Committee.
Besides his own parents, Alan credits his in-laws, Dr. Irwin and Harriet Gribetz, with whom
he is exceptionally close for his community involvement. “I’m lucky to have the relationship
with them that I do - they are special people. They, with my parents, set an example of
what chesed is all about.”
“Being part of DOROT is a huge honor in my life,” Alan says, “the honor is based on
the people in the organization, their love and commitment to this work, and fellow board
members I’ve worked with.”
DOROT is proud to honor Alan for his devotion to excellence within the DOROT community
and his unwavering commitment to enhancing the lives of the elderly and bringing the
generations together, right here where he grew up: in New York City.

Next Generation, DOROT’s leadership board
for students in grades 10-12, was launched in
2001. Teen interns who have demonstrated
a high level of leadership and dedication are
invited to join Next Generation.
Each year, Next Generation welcomes
approximately 14 students from 10-12 different
schools. They meet once a month during the school year to plan activities,
participate in leadership training workshops, and provide input about teen volunteer
initiatives. Sessions also include informal Jewish learning and group reflection.
Trained in public speaking, Next Generation members conduct school workshops,
present orientations for teen groups at
Holiday Package Deliveries, and serve
as DOROT youth representatives in
other programs. They also plan and
implement fundraising activities for their
peers.
Next Generation’s lasting initiatives
include “The Word,” a blog on the
DOROT website in which members
share personal DOROT experiences and thoughts on both volunteering and agingrelated issues, as well as an annual intergenerational program on a Sunday
afternoon to introduce their peers to DOROT and encourage them to volunteer in
the future.
DOROT is proud to present the fourth annual Next Generation Honor Roll at our
2014 Spring Benefit. As the vanguard of our community’s future volunteer leadership,
Next Generation plays an important role in DOROT’s mission of bringing the
generations together. The Next Generation Honor Roll recognizes each year’s
graduating seniors as an expression of
our appreciation for the time and effort
they have devoted to building a better
world for the aged.
The graduating seniors’ views on their
Next Generation experience and on
the importance of building an agefriendly community are shared below.
M O L LY K A I S S A R
GRADUATING: The Chapin School
WILL BE ATTENDING: Carnegie Mellon University
My participation in Next Generation has been life-changing. I have always been interested
in volunteering, but before I started with DOROT, I did not know where to look. Once I
got involved with DOROT, I instantly fell in love with the organization. A few years ago,
I was invited onto the Next Generation Teen Council, and since then DOROT has given
me so many opportunities I would not have come across otherwise.
It is extremely important to build an intergenerational and age-friendly community. New
York City is a small space with a lot of people, so if we create a network of people
willing to lend a hand, the city will be much more age-friendly. I try my hardest to lend a
hand directly to the seniors in need, and I also try to create more of an intergenerational
community by bringing more teens and children to DOROT to help create a larger network.
ELENA KRASNOFF
GRADUATING: Bard High School Early College
WILL BE ATTENDING: Binghamton University
My participation in Next Generation has allowed me to form a stronger connection with
the DOROT community. I have learned a lot through both DOROT and Next Generation
and I hope to continue to use the things I’ve learned in the future. The seniors I have visited
have taught me so much about life and that is something I will be forever thankful for.
Building an intergenerational community is crucial; it’s important that we teach younger
generations to respect their elders.
JA MIE LICHTENSTEIN
GRADUATING: Columbia Prep
WILL BE ATTENDING: Wake Forest University
My participation in Next Generation has taught
me how important connecting the generations is.
Building an intergenerational and age-friendly
community is very important to me. I cherish the
time I spend with seniors. Not only am I able to
learn invaluable life lessons and hear wonderful
stories, but I am able to forge new friendships.
My work with DOROT prompted me to create
onelifelesson.com, a website that encapsulates the lessons of our elders and bridges the
gap between generations. I admire the work DOROT does and I am lucky and proud to
be part of such a warm, dedicated, and supportive community.
C A R LY S T E C K E L
GRADUATING: Staples High School
WILL BE ATTENDING: Cornell University
My participation in Next Generation has allowed me to remain an active participant in
working towards this amazing organization’s mission.
I believe that no person should be isolated or made to feel insignificant, but unfortunately,
many seniors often experience both. Creating an intergenerational and age-friendly
community is the only way to ensure that one can find happiness at any stage of life. The
necessity of such a community is not only for the benefit of current seniors, but also for our
own benefit, because if we are lucky, we all will reach advanced age eventually. I see
myself as working towards this ideal by treating seniors with the respect they deserve, and
encouraging others to do the same.

JARED M ANDELBAUM
GRADUATING: The Dalton School
WILL BE ATTENDING: Hamilton College
My participation in Next Generation has been an invaluable and fulfilling experience.
I have learned important skills and I feel like I have truly helped the elder community in
New York City.
I think it is vitally important to foster an age-friendly community, as I feel that intergenerational
relationships are beneficial for members of both older and younger generations. There
is obviously a natural divide between older and younger generations, and the closure
of this gap can lead to life-changing experiences. DOROT does a great job of creating
relationships that span multiple generations, and I feel that I have played a part in this
effort by volunteering and working with Next Generation. Many younger people are
hesitant to reach out to elders; I hope I was able to set an example for my peers through
my involvement with DOROT.
MAX SLEPIAN
GRADUATING: SAR High School
WILL BE ATTENDING: Binghamton University
I have been volunteering with Next Generation for three years. I think it is very important
for the younger generation to learn as much as they can from the older generations and to
give back to them for their amazing life accomplishments. I hope to continue volunteering
with the elderly and encourage more friends and family to do so.
MORGAN SHEAR
GRADUATING: The Spence School
WILL BE ATTENDING: Georgetown University
My participation in Next Generation has provided me with the confidence and leadership
skills to go out into the world and make meaningful change.
Oftentimes, I feel that the elderly go unheard; their needs are overlooked and their
problems are not always understood. As a young adult, I believe it is important to spread
awareness about the plight that these valuable members of society face, and to create a
supportive and compassionate intergenerational community. Bridging the generations is
important on many levels. Not only can the young learn from elders’ unique perspectives
and experiences, they can, in turn, bring life, joy, and companionship into many isolated
seniors’ lives. From my personal experience of watching my grandparents age, and from my
time here at DOROT, I have recognized it is my duty to help foster these intergenerational
relationships and to be a voice for the elderly, ensuring that they are always heard. As I
move into the next chapter of my life, I see myself becoming a political advocate for the
elderly, a friend, and a listener.

NEW THIS YEAR
Since 1976, DOROT has provided food, housing, companionship, education, and
cultural enrichment to thousands of older adults in the New York metropolitan area.
Most of our core programs serve seniors in Manhattan on the Upper West Side
from 59th to 125th Street and on the East Side from 14th to 96th Street. DOROT
also provides a range of services to the elderly in Westchester County and in
northern New Jersey. Every year, we strive to improve upon our programs. Here’s
what we did this year:
The Friendly Visiting Memory Loss Pilot, conducted in partnership with the New York
City Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, supported volunteers matched with
seniors who had mild memory impairments. Volunteers participated in workshops
where they learned how to interact with and be sensitive to the specific needs of
the elders they visit each week.
DOROT provided training sessions to volunteers and staff to help identify and
address elder abuse, in partnership with the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg Center
at The Hebrew Home at Riverdale. Additionally, a DOROT social worker was
appointed to investigate and address any concerns of elder abuse reported.
Our intergenerational iPad tutoring project taught seniors how to establish e-mail
accounts and Skype, with guidance from youth volunteers, and we launched a
video-conferencing pilot for computer-savvy participants of DOROT’s University
Without Walls program.
With help and urging from a 12-year-old volunteer who was matched with an 89-yearold Holocaust survivor to play chess with, DOROT initiated an intergenerational
chess program this spring. Sunday and after-school sessions brought seniors and
youth of all levels together to learn from chess masters, partake in the game, and
build new friendships.
The new DOROT Next Dor Committee is a group of philanthropically-minded young
adults whose leadership will help DOROT grow now and in the future. Representing
one of the many generations that makes up DOROT’s intergenerational model, the
group supports the organization and generates awareness to future leaders and
fellow philanthropists.
Thank you to the
DOROT Family.
Our lives have been enriched by
honoring the elders in our community.
