Now in its seventh successful year, ADAMAH: The Jewish Environmental Fellowship is a three-month leadership training program for Jewish young adults in their 20s that integrates organic farming, sustainable living, Jewish learning, community building and contemplative spiritual practice.

A typical day is spent on our six-acre farm, in our commercial kitchen and on our goat pasture, helping to create a sustainable business that models ecological design, financial viability and social responsibility. Evenings are spent learning about Judaism and sustainability, building community and cultivating leadership skills.

An amazing staff and assortment of visiting faculty will help you listen to and follow your soul’s yearning for ecological and spiritual wholeness, recraft a Jewish identity that sings to you, and build relationships and skills that will sustain you for the rest of your life.

"Adamah is a small-scale model of what would make the world a better place. Adamah dispelled my cynicisms about the connection between spirituality and social justice. I now know that balance, appreciation, intention and reflection all work together to build a more solid foundation from which to pursue an environmentally and socially just world. Adamah sparked in me something that will never go away. &mdashRebecca Bloomfield, Fall 2005.
