Lasting Voice is honored to record and preserve the words and wisdom of our Jewish elders

Beginning in 2021, we’ve conducted hundreds of interviews in New England Jewish communities. In the years ahead, we hope to touch thousands thousands of seniors and their families nationally.

Lasting Voice is supported through generous donations by individuals and organizations. It’s a priceless gift to future generations … yet the service is provided for at no cost.

We hope you enjoy listening to these examples from our growing archive, and invite you to get in touch if you would like to create a Lasting Voice for yourself or a loved one.
