Shomer Collective is transforming communal culture around death, dying, and mourning.
Want to learn how to lead Death Over Dinner: Jewish Edition? Shomer Collective is offering a 60 minute virtual training to learn how to be a Death over Dinner: Jewish Edition facilitator. Created by rabbis, theologians, wellness, and palliative care experts, Death Over Virtual Dinner: Jewish Edition provides a unique lens through which to build and strengthen our personal beliefs about life and death.
Have you comforted a friend or family member after a death, but wished you could do more? Join an online Shiva Guide Essentials Workshop and learn how Jewish tradition is designed to hold us in our grief, together.
If you serve the Jewish community, chances are your members will face mortality: someone else’s or their own. Are you ready to support them Jewishly?
Join the next quarterly “What Matters” program from Shomer Collective, and take those first important steps with the support and Jewish wisdom you need! We are here to navigate tough questions together, no matter where you are in the process.
Attendees will be guided through the process of creating an advance directive.
Ethical wills — or "wisdom letters" — are a 3,500-year-old Jewish tradition of passing values, beliefs, and love across generations. But some letters do something more: they take on a life of their own, becoming torches, reunions, and living presences for the people who receive them.
In this experiential workshop, Dr. Lesley Simpson shares remarkable letters from her ongoing collection: letters that have been read at Passover seders and Chanukah gatherings, that have sparked innovation, and that have reunited families separated by war and time. Then we write. Participants will leave with raw material for their own wisdom letter, whatever form it wants to take.
Join us as the High Holidays approach, a season already given to reflection on legacy, memory, and what we leave behind.
Have you comforted a friend or family member after a death, but wished you could do more? Join an online Shiva Guide Essentials Workshop and learn how Jewish tradition is designed to hold us in our grief, together.
This 7-hour online training will prepare you to conduct advance care planning conversations, including: exploring end-of-life medical decision-making, post-death considerations, and completion of Advance Directives, all while integrating Jewish wisdom into the process.
