Adamah, which means “ground” or “earth” in Hebrew, is the largest Jewish environmental organization in North America, with headquarters near Baltimore, Maryland. A result of the merger of nonprofits Hazon and Pearlstone in 2023, Adamah promotes connections between Jewish life and nature through immersive retreats, farm fellowships, farm apprenticeships, education, summer camp, climate action, and leadership development.
