URBAN ADAMAH ALL YEAR
Not Your Average Sunday School
At Urban Adamah All Year, young people in grades TK – 5 meet approximately every other Sunday to build their understanding of Jewish tradition and sustainable agriculture. Students learn by engaging with the farm through hands-on projects, art, and discussion. Guided by a curriculum that weaves together ecological cycles and the Jewish calendar, UA All Year students deepen their understanding of Jewish values and culture, while tending to the land, practicing mindfulness, and building community.
Want to learn more before signing up? Join us virtually for a UA All Year Information Session on Tuesday, June 18 from 6:00 – 7:00 PM. Click here to register.
UA All Year programming focuses on cultivating a Jewish community within participants’ Chavurah (“small group”) of similarly-aged students led by 1-2 educators. Students also participate in a block of time dedicated to Shomrei Adamah—being “Guardians of the Earth”—where students learn about the values and practices of sustainable farming and land stewardship.

COVID-19
All eligible participants must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 at least two weeks prior to the start of UA All Year. All participants must have received a booster in addition to initial vaccination. All UA All Year staff are required to be fully vaccinated with a booster shot.
Our masking policy depends on COVID-19 Community Levels:
- Low: Participants and staff will not be required to wear masks.
- Medium or High: Participants and staff will be required to wear masks indoors.
If the COVID-19 Community Levels change during UA All Year, you will be notified of said changes and what that means for your child with regard to masking and other safety measures.
If any staff member or child tests positive for COVID-19 or is a close-contact with someone who tests positive for COVID-19, they will not be able to return to UA All Year until providing a negative COVID-19 test result for them and the infected person.
We clean bathrooms regularly, offer individual places to store participant belongings, require plenty of hand sanitizer, and hand washing. We ask that kids bring all their own snacks and lunch for health and safety reasons.
If you have questions, please reach out to our Educational Programs Manager at zev@urbanadamah.org.
