Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, Adir spent his college years at List College, the joint program between the Jewish Theological Seminary and Columbia University where he received degrees in both Talmud and American History. In between college and rabbinical school, Adir was a staff member on Nativ, the Conservative movement's gap-year program in Israel where he also studied at the Conservative Yeshivah.
