This year's
Unity Walk, sponsored by the Interfaith Council of Metropolitan Washington
will be on Sunday, September 8 from 12:30 - 6:30. More than

One of the great things about Adat Shalom is that you don't have to remember people's names. No more awkward moments of "hmmm, what is that person's name." But this only works if we wear our name tags! It's also a great security measure. Even if you are just popping in to the building to drop off a child (or an adult), put that name tag on and let us say Hello!
