    Jewish Community Center of Sedona and the Verde ValleySedona AZ (March 18, 2021) – The Social Action Committee, Cultural Committee and the Adult Jewish Education Committee of the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley (JCSVV) are proud to share the following program with our members and extended community.  As Americans, unless part of the Native American tribes, we can find our heritage in immigration from another country or continent.  Our program on March 21, 2021 on Zoom at 3 PM Arizona Time will review the history of immigration from Biblical documentation presented by Rabbi Alicia Magal of the JCSVV as the formation of the Israelites into a nation came to fruition during the Exodus from Egypt. 

    Rabbi Magal will share Biblical laws relating to the equitable and compassionate treatment of strangers in the ancient Land of Israel. The second speaker on our panel is Joe Goldman, the HIAS (Hebrew Immigration Aid Society) Community Engagement Director for the Western Region, based in Los Angeles.  He will share the history of HIAS from its founding 139 years ago.  As expressed in their mission: “We bring the lessons of HIAS’ history and Jewish ethics and experience to our commitment to serve refugees and other displaced persons of concern around the world through the following values:  Welcoming, Dignity and Respect, Empowerment, Excellence and Innovation, Collaboration and Teamwork, and Accountability.” 

    This agency has grown from its start of assisting Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe to the United States to a world-wide agency serving people of all races, religions, and nationalities.  Our third presenter is Dr. Analucia Lopezrevoredo, founder and Executive Director of Jewtina y Co., “an organization that celebrates, explores, and raises awareness of the Latin-Jewish community and experience.  A frequent focus is on raising awareness of immigration issues as it relates to our community.”

    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.
