"Guardians of the Earth"
6th grade - Residential
 Our longest running program, Shomrei
Adamah, now serves students from over 25 schools from Baltimore to Boston. The ecological
emphasis is on energy flow, cycles, bio-diversity and interdependence. Students also
explore the relevance of the Jewish concepts of Bal Tashchit (the biblical injunction
against wasteful behavior) and Tikkun Olam (healing the world) in light of current
environmental problems.
Our students were transformed by their experiences. They returned to the
school and their homes with a sense of Tikkum Olam and the power that individuals possess
for changing the world. I credit this to your highly committed and charismatic team of
Jewish educators.
