Aderet, or Adderet (), is a village in the Judean foothills, in the Adullam region, south of Bet Shemesh, west of Gush Etzion, overlooking the Valley of Elah. The nearest villages are Neve Michael/Roglit and Aviezer. The village is part of the Mateh Yehudah Regional Council. 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. North-African immigrants from the Atlas Mountains who arrived in 1963 engaged in poultry farming and other agricultural activities until the late 1980s. Aderet then evolved into a bedroom community for Jerusalem (40 km) and Tel Aviv (65 km), and in 1997, a new neighborhood was built, bringing the population to over 110 families and 400 people. An additional building project started in late 2006 for seventy plots. There are two kindergartens located on the moshav. School-age children are bused out
