Adamah at Home
March 13 @ 8:00 am – March 31 @ 5:00 pm
Applications are Open
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 8-10 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.
Systems of power disproportionately impact accessibility to programs like these for people of marginalized identities. We deeply value the leadership and participation of Jews of diverse backgrounds and experiences, related to class, ethnicity, race, sexual orientation, gender, ability and more. We strongly encourage Jews of marginalized identities to apply.
This has been an incredible experience and has given me a new framework to work with as I continue to learn about Judaism, sustainability, and agriculture

Program Costs
We are offering payment options for this program at a sliding scale between $500-$1,000, with no one turned away for lack of funds. We want Adamah’s programs to be accessible, and we recognize that the current climate presents additional financial challenges. There is no stigma attached to paying at a lower rate, and no one but the financial team will know this information.
If you are able, please pay the full price or as close as you can. If you are participating as part of an organization or institution, consider asking for their support in paying full program fee.
Refunds will not be available after March 14th.
Schedule
On Monday-Thursday, each day typically has a morning component (9-11am Eastern), a late afternoon class (around 5pm Eastern) and an evening program (around 8pm).
On Fridays we incorporate programming to end the week and transition to Shabbat.
