The KS Growing Older in Community initiative fosters connections and support amongst our members as we explore, share, learn, and grow older together. We aim to also expand and deepen relationships across generations.
The Shomer Collective offers a rich array of programs online, both live and recorded. The live programs include opportunities for participant breakout groups. With a bit of advanced planning, we can request that KS members be in breakout rooms with one another.
What Matters: Caring Conversations about End of Life – August 2026
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.
During this 90-minute session, you will:
- Find out what a healthcare agent is, and how to select one
- Learn the importance of documenting your wishes, and how to do it
- See what Jewish traditions and teachings have to say about planning for end of life
- Have an opportunity to ask your pressing questions
Participants will leave the session with clarity around What Matters to you at the end of life. We envision a world where these conversations are frequent, meaningful, and not nearly as hard.
