The Dupree and Adamah ATL Present: Roots of Responsibility

This will be four-part experiential learning series designed to joyfully reconnect Jewish participants with the rhythms of the seasons and our relationship to the land, while deepening a sense of individual and collective responsibility rooted in Jewish tradition.

Event Details
