Though we don’t like to think about it, a change in health or an accident can happen to any of us. That’s why it’s important for all of us – regardless of our age or health – to talk with the people who matter most to us, just in case there comes a time when we cannot speak for ourselves. Join us in learning and discussing together how to start this conversation.
As we embark on the new “Being A Good Ancestor” series, we will offer a collection of resources throughout the year.
A special community event was held on Sunday, September 7, featuring renowned author and speaker Rabbi Steve Leder of Wilshire Boulevard Temple. Rabbi Leder explored the theme “Being a Good Ancestor,” offering powerful insights into how an awareness of our mortality can inspire a more meaningful and intentional life. Through moving stories and thoughtful reflections, he led us in conversations about legacy, the importance of ethical and financial wills, and the ways we can live with purpose. Rabbi Leder’s message is clear: how we live now shapes how we are remembered.
