    Jewish Community Center of Sedona and the Verde ValleySedona AZ (March 7, 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 MST 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.

    By Tommy Acosta
    What is a life anyway? A single “life?” Is it nothing more than a collection of emotions and thoughts, reverberating pain and pleasure, hopes, dreams and fear? Are we merely meat; flesh and blood creations encapsulating what we believe is a soul? Or is a single life the microcosm and macrocosm of human life on earth, each one of us a unique representation of who we believe we are and the whole of humanity at once? We are born. We grow old. We die. Everything we experience is but a dream between those two points. Or are we manifestations of a Divine Creator, every one of us complete in the image that we were made? So, we are told.
