Adamah at Home
Our next cohort will be March 1st- March 19th, 2021.
Applications due by February 26th.
Green Teams and Hazon Seal sites are especially encouraged to apply for this cohort!
*This virtual cohort is in partnership with Hazon’s Seal of Sustainability, with additional sessions specifically for Seal Sites! Gain knowledge, skills and support to make your food, garden and environmental programs come to life!
Adamah at Home is a 3-week program to build food skills, ecological connection, and Jewish community. Open to ages 18+ who can commit to 12-15 hours a week of live video learning and connection. We will support students in getting their hands dirty: growing food on balconies or in backyards, preparing/preserving food in the kitchen, and exploring their local food system. We are offering this program at a sliding scale. Applications are due by February 26th, or until 25 spots are filled.
White supremacy and other systems of power disproportionately impact accessibility to programs like these for People of Color. We deeply value the leadership and participation of People of Color, and we strongly encourage applications from people with these identities. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this program right for me?
Join us if you are looking to learn about:
Judaism in general
Adamah’s particular blend of spiritual, ecological and justice oriented Judaism.
Farming and sustainability skills
Economic, political, and social factors that influence how we eat
The wider network of Jewish community farms, food projects, spiritual leaders and educators.
Why an online program?
Our hope for Adamah at Home is to offer a program that will allow participants to truly integrate our teachings into the place you call Home. We teach skills and offer experiences that help you connect to yourself, the land, community and Judaism wherever you are.
Conversing over the internet is both a gift and a challenge. We will be able to include many individuals who wouldn’t otherwise be able to make the trek to our location in northwest Connecticut. The virtual program is not a replacement for an in-person experience in community on our farm.
How is it different from the Adamah Fellowship?
Adamah at Home is a way to give people access to more of what we teach in the residential, in-person Adamah Fellowship. While Adamah at Home is not a virtual version of the fellowship program we usually run, it is a way for us to continue to connect with and teach people, while we are unable to host them.
What is the Adamah culture like?
Pluralism of all kinds is key to the success of the Adamah community. We strive to center everyone’s identities and we seek applicants of all genders, nationalities, cultures, ages, ways of Jewish observance and abilities.
