I am new to the Apple community and Mac in general. I have a new early 2015 Macbook pro 13" retina. It appears that many sites require Adobe Flash Player. Is Adobe Flash Player a safe download for my new Mac?

As long as you get it only directly from Adobe, yes.
Yes. Get this version: Adobe Flash Player 17.0.0.188.
Yes, when it's downloaded from Adobe's website. Don't attempt to download it from anywhere else; if you see a prompt to install or update it, go to Adobe's site instead of following any links in the dialog.

You can also install Google Chrome for Flash support - it is built in to the browser & kept up to date by Google. This means that Safari is safe from any exploits that Flash may have because Flash is not available to any other browser. If you install Flash for the whole OS you have to keep up to date with the latest version from Adobe.
Obviously you have to use Chrome for any pages that require Flash, but that seems reasonable to me.
Thanks Drew, Niel, Kappy and Kurt. All responses appreciated. Moving from Pc to Mac sometimes daunting.
