Aderet, Israel
Aderet is a village in the Judean foothills, in the Adullam region, south of Bet Shemesh, west of Gush Etzion, overlooking the Ela Valley. With a population of about 400, Aderet began as a farming Moshav (semi-communal farming village) but has evolved in recent years into a bedroom community for Jerusalem (40 km) and Tel Aviv (65 km).
The name Aderet comes from Ezekiel 17:8, meaning "glorious" in the phrase "glorious vine", a symbol of reborn Israel. The name recalls the viticulture in the area.
In the vicinity of Aderet are a vineyard and number of archeological sites from the Roman and Byzantine Era, including the Atari and Midras ruins. The cave of Adullam, famous as a refuge for David during his period of flight from King Saul, is 300 m south of Aderet, and the ancient site of Sokho, now famous for its annual flowering of lupins, is 2 km north.
(The spelling Adderet is also correct.)
