Ten questions we are asked most often. If yours is not here, write to us.
Shomer Adamah (שומר אדמה, "Guardian of the Earth") is an online kibbutz starting in Canada: a community that gathers in person and online, builds projects together and shares a council of AI advisors. It was founded in 2026 by Ehud Cohen.
Online, so anyone can take part wherever they live. We are starting in Canada, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we plan to gather in person across the country. Our first outdoor gatherings are planned for next summer.
A kibbutz is a community where people work, rest and build together and share what they produce. The first kibbutzim were founded in Israel more than a century ago. Ours begins online and meets in person when we gather.
Come to a gathering (see the events calendar), read the journal, or sign in with Google to become a member. The same button signs you in or creates your account the first time.
The Council is a group of seven AI advisors. You put a question to them, they debate it from seven points of view and return structured counsel. It orients you; it does not decide for you. The page about the Council explains each advisor.
No. The Council's answers are for reflection. They are not medical, financial or legal advice, we do not offer therapy, and you remain responsible for your own decisions.
Shabbat is a weekly rest of about 25 hours, from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. It sets the pace of our work: one day a week, we rest. The Shabbat page shows the times for your city.
Signing in is free: there is nothing to pay and no password to create. If that ever changes, we will say so on the Transparency page before it does.

Our work is organised around the Tree of Life of Kabbalah: ten positions, called Sefirot, of which seven are the fields we work in today. The Structure page shows the tree, and the Fields page lists the work.
