    Jewish Community Center of Sedona and the Verde ValleySedona AZ (August 13, 2020) – The Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley (JCSVV)is concluding a three-part ZOOM program series about racism and social justice in the wake of our national crisis that has erupted this spring and summer across our country and internationally. This program began as a joint planning project of our Adult Jewish Education Committee and the Social Action Committee of the JCSVV to educate and respond with advocacy and community service options to the needs in our extended community. Our committee members along with Rabbi Alicia Magal will convene on Zoom for programming addressing some of the history of racial relations, more current stressors that fuel the growing concerns about racism and their effects on various victim groups (Black, Latinx, Jews, Native Americans) and how we can respond.

    The last of the three programs is scheduled for Monday, August 31, 2020 and is entitled: Listening to Voices of Color. This final program will be with live zoom presenters hosted by Gloria Brown.

    Dr. Bjorn Krondorfer, Director of the Martin-Springer Institute at Northern Arizona University will moderate the panel, including Kimberly Duenas, as she calls herself “a Jew of Color” representing the Latinx community, and Deborah Ann Harris, who is currently President of the Southside Community Association which operated the Historic Murdoch Community Center in Flagstaff. Both women have been involved in education in their communities and have merged their college education into professions of advanced educators and community activists. Dr. Krondorfer has world-wide experience in bringing varied groups of people together to understand their different cultures. Their presentations will be followed by discussion and questions and answers.

    The Bloody Machine
    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.
