    Jewish Community Center of Sedona and the Verde Valley

    By Rabbi Alicia Magal

    Sedona News – Shalom and greetings from the Rabbi, Board of Directors, and congregation of the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley.

    All the services, classes, and programs are listed on the synagogue website.

    Come join us either in person or online. See jcsvv.org for instructions to register for in-person services or online links. Visitors are welcome to attend services. 

    On Friday, August 19, a Friday evening Erev Shabbat service, led by Rabbi Alicia Magal, begins at 5:30 pm both in person and on Zoom, and livestreamed for members and their invitees. Congregants participate by lighting candles, doing a reading, or having an Aliyah for the Torah service.  Verses from the Torah portion will be chanted: Ekev (Deuteronomy 7:12 – 11:25), a continuation of the second of Moses’ three farewell talks to Israel.  Moses encourages the people to keep their faith in God and remember the lessons they learned during the years in the wilderness. Now they would be settling in a land that would offer water, crops, and all their needs, and they must remember to thank the Provider of all this bounty and not take it for granted or get puffed up with pride over “their harvest.” Ekev has the same root as akev, heel, or ikvot, footsteps, so there is a sense of our walking in the footsteps of our ancient ancestors finding a path that continues to this day. Blessings for those who are ill and a Mazal Tov for those celebrating a birthday or anniversary will be offered. Kaddish, the Mourner’s prayer, will be recited in memory of those who passed away either recently or at this time in past years. Shabbat offers a time out from work and worry, an opportunity to be grateful for our lives and the bounty with which we are blessed.  

     Wednesday morning minyan begins at 8:30 a.m. on August 24 on zoom.  Join the group to offer healing prayers, and to support those saying the mourner’s prayer, Kaddish, for a loved one who has passed away. Every person counts and is needed!

    On Wednesday at 4:00 pm Rosalie Malter and Rabbi Magal will lead a class on Jewish meditation on Zoom.  Each session focuses on a different tool or aspect of Jewish meditation practices. 

    On Thursday, August 25, at 4:00 pm, Torah study, led by Rabbi Alicia Magal, will be held on Zoom.  The Torah reading for that week is Re’eh (Deuteronomy 11:26 – 16:17), continuing the second of Moses’ three farewell addresses to Israel, outlining the blessings and curses that would follow if the people would follow or would turn away from the commandments.  He urges them to make the right choice and observe the Laws of Holiness. He repeats the rules of the Sabbatical Year, canceling debts, and giving the poor an opportunity to rise from poverty. 

    The Social Action Committee is continuing to collect food for the local Sedona food pantry.   Please drop of cans or boxes of non-perishable foods in the bin outside the lower level parking lot entrance to the synagogue. 

    High Holy Day information is listed on the synagogue website, www.jcsvv.org.  

    The Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley, located at 100 Meadow Lark Drive off Route 179 in Sedona, is a welcoming, egalitarian, inclusive congregation dedicated to building a link from the past to the future by providing religious, educational, social and cultural experiences.  Messages to the office telephone at 928 204-1286 will be answered during the week. Updated information is available on the synagogue website – www.jcsvv.org.
