    logo_jewishcommunitySedona AZ (March 7, 2020) – The Jewish religion and culture is more than 2,500 years old, yet new ideas and experiences are still being explored by its leaders.  Some of the most innovative Jewish thinkers and spiritual guides now present their informative and inspiring ideas in short dynamic talks (of about 15 minutes each) in a new series of videos, called ELI Talks, the Jewish equivalent of TED talks.  (Check them out at ELItalks.org.) ELI stands for Engagement, Literacy, and Identity.

    Each talk provides an insight into an essential element of a fulfilled Jewish life, which people often misunderstand or overlook.   A new  learning group, called “ELI Talks and Conversations on Modern Jewish Life”  will be offered at the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley, at 100 Meadowlark Drive, off Hwy 179 south of Chapel Rd., on Thursdays,   March 19, and April 16 from 3:00 – 4:30 p.m.  Everyone in the community is invited to attend.  Please call the synagogue office at 928 204-1286 to reserve a spot.

    At each session, three of the best ELI talks (from over 100 available on line) will be shown.  After each short screening, attendeeswill share comments on the ideas and related them to their own lives in a lively, frank conversation, facilitated by Paul Friedman, Ph.D.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
