The Shomer Collective Convening is a once-yearly virtual gathering of the Jewish end-of-life field. We convene from across the country, across dozens of disciplines. It takes many hands to do the sacred work being done at the intersection of Jewish life and end of life.
This year's Convening included two powerful keynotes. Sarah Wildman, a journalist and author presented on the gaps and shortcoming experienced by her family during a battle with a fatal cancer faced by her daughter, Orli. Next, Rev. Dr. Dylan Thomas Doyle presented on the ever-changing state of artificial intelligence in the grief landscape.
