    logo_mitzvahday2Sedona AZ (October 8, 2013) – On Sunday, November 17, 11:30AM to 5PM, Sedona and surrounding communities will celebrate the 7th Annual Mitzvah (Good Deed) Day. About 350 volunteers of all ages are needed for this interfaith, intergenerational spirit-led day of service announced Rabbi Alicia Magal and Barbara Litrell, co-chairs of the event which takes place under the auspices of the Sedona Community Center. The theme for this year’s Mitzvah Day is “Gratitude in Action” leading into the Thanksgiving and holiday season of caring.

    20131008_mitzvahdaySince 2007 an average of 350 volunteers per year have donated over 8400 total volunteer hours and accomplished over 240 projects. Volunteers have helped seniors, veterans, other individuals in need, as well as worked on landscape, painting and cleaning projects, and prepared craft items to benefit Verde Valley Sanctuary residents, veterans in the VA hospital, Sedona Food Bank homeless clients, children in hospitals, and more.

    According to Rabbi Alicia Magal of the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley, “Gratitude in Action encourages all of us to count our blessings and reach out to help our neighbors and the earth.”

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
