Jewish farming has increasingly engaged intentional communities of Jewish farmers, farmer-educators, and environmental educators. This is exemplified in the experience of Jewish farmers at Isabella Freedman Retreat Center (the Adamah Fellowship), at Urban Adamah (in Berkeley, California), and at Eden Village Camp (in Putnam Valley, New York). These farmers have gone on to teach and grow what they’ve learned, the Torah of the Earth, in new communities and new farms, some of which they’ve founded. The pictures here are from the 2015 ADVA Reunion, a gathering of former Adamah Fellows and TEVA Learning Center educators.

Support this work:    The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
