    logo_jewishcommunityA bi-weekly JCSVV class on Thursday afternoons 2:00- 4:00 pm from January 11 to June 28, 2018

    Sedona AZ (December 21, 2017) – 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.

     You 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.

     Attendance at every class session is open to everyone–no enrollment required, just come when you can. No fee for members; $5 donation requested from non-members.

     Below are the dates and titles of the two lecture-themes for each session:

    Jan. 11 – a) Jesus and Judaism & b) Sacred mountains and law-giving in Judaism

    Jan. 25 – a) The united and divided Israelite kingdoms & b) Destruction of Solomon’s Temple

    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.
