NEXTDOR

HELPING A GENERATION

INTEGRATE THEIR PROFESSIONAL AND JEWISH LIVES NextDor is a community and professional network of young Orthodox Jews who aspire to further their careers, empower their religious lives, and create spaces where they can help each other succeed. In-person and virtual networking opportunities, mentorship, and members-only events create opportunities and help young professionals integrate their professional future and Jewish lives.

Still Here Through Lockdown Even though offices across the world were closed, NextDor was still open for business. Throughout the spring and summer, NextDor ran weekly online events building a virtual community of over 400 regulars. From technical lightning talks and armchair conversations to breakout “coffee circles,” NextDor created a home for regular faces, transitioning from “the only meetup with a Maariv” to “the only meetup with a dvar Torah.”

Lightning Talks Networking and professional development from your living room. Short, informative talks followed by Speed Circles—an opportunity to meet and connect with new contacts and old friends.

Armchair Conversations Conversational insights with decision makers on topics like "Career Progression in Corporate America" and "Interview Insights."
