WELCOME TO ADAT SHALOM!

Adat Shalom provides Washington-area Jews of all ages and backgrounds an opportunity to experience Jewish thought, ritual and culture in a vibrant and progressive community. We provide our members with tools and opportunities to locate their own personal relationship to Jewish tradition, the Jewish people, and ultimately, the world. Our statement of principles expresses it well, "Adat Shalom supports a lifelong exploration forba'alei she'elah: Jews with questions."

We welcome you to come under our tent. Join us for Shabbat Services on Saturdays at 9:30 a.m. (and our Tot Shabbat at 10:30 a.m.) at our beautiful building in Bethesda where you will find a tranquil, reflective and restorative makom - a place of holiness that is rare and treasured by all.


ADAT SHALOM'S GARDEN OF HONOR
WILL BE ENJOYED FOR GENERATIONS TO COME
Introducing a unique way to create a lasting tribute to family and friends and to celebrate the passages and milestones of our Jewish lives. Pennsylvania blue stone pavers (see this PHOTO or this PHOTO) make a beautiful and meaningful compliment for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and B'nai mitzvah, as well as to honor the memory of a loved one.
