    On Friday, July 29, a Friday evening Erev Shabbat service, led by Joe Berger, VP of the Religious Affairs Committee, 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: Mattot (Numbers 30:2 – 32:42), describing how the tribes would be settled once they entered the Promised Land, and Masei (Numbers 33:1 – 36:13), reviewing all the encampments of the Israelites from the time of the Exodus until this moment when they are about to enter the Land.   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 3 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 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 4, at 4:00 pm, Torah study, led by Anita Rosenfield, will be held on Zoom.  The Torah reading for that week is Devarim, Deuteronomy 1:1 – 3:22, the beginning of the fifth book of the Torah. This consists of Moses’ farewells to Israel at the end of his long years as their leader.  He knew that his days were coming to an end and he wanted to review the people’s history, and remind Israel of its special relationship with God.  He recalls both the difficulties they encountered and the miracles they observed. He urged them to keep their faith strong. 

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

    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.

    If I Were Curtis Sliwa
    By Tommy Acosta

    One of my guilty little pleasures is imagining what I would do if I was in someone else’s shoes, especially politicians. In this essay I would love to jump into the shoes of Curtis Sliwa, a former New York City vigilante who founded the Guardian Angels and is now running as a Republican for mayor of his city.
