    By Rabbi Alicia Magal

    The JCSVV offers soul-enriching services and classes, all listed on the synagogue website, jcsvv.org. Visitors are welcome to attend services after a security check. Those who cannot attend in person can access the service through zoom.

    Erev Shabbat services begin at 5:30 pm on Friday, November 8, led by Rabbi Alicia Magal. A reading from Lech Lecha (Genesis 12:1 – 17:27) which tells of Abraham’s adventure in establishing a faith in One God as he leaves his home city of Haran, in Mesopotamia in the nineteenth century BCE and travels to Canaan. God makes the promise to Abraham that this land will become the home of his descendants. Healing blessings give people an opportunity to pray for those who are ill, and Kaddish offers mourners the opportunity to say the Mourners’ Prayer supported by community. We all pray for the return of the hostages and a path to peace. A festive Oneg of refreshments sponsored by Bob and Carol Dores in honor of their anniversary.

    Meditation class led by Rabbi Magal and Rosalie Malter will be held on Wednesday, November 13, at 4:00 pm on zoom.

    Torah study, led by Rabbi Magal, will be held on Thursday, November 14 at 4:00 pm on zoom to read and discuss Vayeira (Genesis 18:1 – 22:24) with the tale of Abraham welcoming three strangers/angels/messengers to his tent. They announce that Sarah will bear a child, and that Sodom and Gomorrah will be destroyed. Abraham bargains with God not to destroy the evil cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if just a few decent people can be found there… but alas, they are wicked and the cities are destroyed, except for Abraham’s nephew Lot and his family.

    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 provided for collections located at the bottom of the stairs in the parking lot.

    The Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley, located at 100 Meadowlark 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. Office telephone: 928 204-1286. Synagogue website – www.jcsvv.org

    It Takes a Lifetime and Sometimes Even More

    By Amaya  Gayle

    Sedona, AZ — It takes a lifetime (perhaps lifetimes) of stretching and expanding, ripping and tearing, just to move through one’s predispositions, to meet one’s inbred resistance and evolve to the grace of simple tolerance. During this precious part of the journey, it feels like you are taking the steps, are choosing right, left or straight ahead, that you are in the game.
