Welcome to Adat Shalom’s Repairing the Earth Blog

This website is intended for members of  Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation in Bethesda, MD to provide current information about activities and education related to our Jewish stewardship traditions for repairing the earth.  The site emphasizes our strong ethical ties through our Jewish historical and religious values.

Rabbi Fred addresses a large crowd of about 100 people at Greening our Sanctuaries: An Interfaith Workshop and Expo on July 17, 2011.  The program (cosponsored by Adat Shalom and Greater Washington Interfaith Power and Light, www.gwipl.org) included a tour of the Mishnah Garden, 16 exhibitors, and 6 separate workshops.  A very diverse and knowledgeable audience, representing at least 30 different faith communities, was in attendance.
