    logo_jewishcommunityA bi-weekly JCSVV class on Thursday afternoons 2:00- 4:00 pm  

    Sedona AZ (January 26, 2018) – Jesus, his family, and his disciples were Jewish. His actions and teachings were the product of a fascinating dialogue with—and reaction to—the traditions, cultures, and historical developments of ancient Jewish beliefs. By understanding Judaism before and during Jesus’ life, Jews and Christians will appreciate each other more.

    We will explore how early Judaism differed from the Judaism practiced today, the most defining moments in ancient Israel (from the establishment of Mosaic Law to the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 C.E.), and what it meant to be a Jew in ancient Israel—and how that heritage influenced Jesus.

    The springboard for class discussions, facilitated by Paul Friedman, will be a series of stimulating videotaped lectures presented by Jodi Magness, Ph.D., award-winning Professor of Early Judaism at the University of North Carolina. We will approach the subjects of Judaism and Jesus from a historical, rather than scriptural, perspective—one rooted in the study of ancient texts and archaeological discoveries.

    Baby Boomer Hippies
    Baby Boomer Blues
    By Tommy Acosta
    If you are a Baby Boomer and are reading this, STOP right now and click off the page because it’s one of the most depressing things I have ever written. But if you are in the mood to wallow in darkness and self-pity, read on. Baby Boomers, what happened? Has time so betrayed us, now, that we are but a decade or two away from finishing our stay here on this planet? What happened to those of us who grew our hair, protested against the unjust wars of our time and dominated three decades with the best music ever made and played? Looking back at videos of us at concerts, rocking to the Beatles, Stones, Yes, Prince, The Who, Metallica, Cream, Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Beach Boys, Kiss, etc., we look at ourselves and we are fat, old, or bald. Sickness racks us. Body parts are failing, and we are getting closer and closer to our expiration date. We had dreams. We thought we would bring peace to the world. We marched in great numbers on Washington against the killing war in Viet Nam. We wanted to bring an end to evil. And we failed. Miserably. Read more→
