Join us for a meaningful and heartfelt evening with Emma Heming Willis, advocate, caregiver, and author of the new book The Unexpected Journey, as she shares her personal experience caring for Bruce Willis.

Emma will speak openly about the realities of caregiving—the challenges, the grief, the love, and the resilience required when life takes an unexpected turn. Her story offers comfort, insight, and hope to caregivers, family members, and anyone whose life has been touched by memory loss or serious illness.

Rooted in compassion and community—values deeply aligned with Jewish teachings of kavod, chesed, and caring for one another—this evening is for:

• Caregivers and care partners
• Adult children supporting aging parents
• Families navigating Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia
• Anyone seeking understanding, connection, and strength

Following the event, Emma Heming Willis will be available for a book signing. If you would like to pre-order a copy of The Unexpected Journey, you may do so on the registration form below.

We are happy to offer this event free of charge to Temple members, and ask for a suggested donation of $18 for non-members.
Space is limited. Registration is required and will close on MONDAY MAY 18th, or earlier if capacity is reached. Walk-ins will NOT be permitted.

This event is supported by the Stanford & Roselyn Komisar Blanck Fund for Elderly and Aging Support.
