    Sedona, AZ –0 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.

    The JCSVV offers soul-enriching services, programs, and classes, all listed on the synagogue website, jcsvv.org. Office telephone: 928 204-1286. Visitors are welcome to attend services after a security check. Those who cannot attend in person can access the service through zoom.

    Rabbi Magal will lead Friday evening services on September 5, at 7:00 pm, the later start time for the first Friday of the month. The service will include songs to usher in the Sabbath, prayers of healing for loved ones, and Kaddish, the Mourner’s prayer in memory of those who have passed away recently or around this date in past years.  The weekly Torah portion is Ki Teitze (Deuteronomy 21:10 – 25:19) in which Moses reviews laws intended to strengthen family life and human decency in Israel, including parents’ responsibility to educate their children, returning lost property, kindness to animals, caring for strangers, and ensuring honest business practices, to name a few of the topics. Kiddush and Motzi (blessings over the wine/juice and challah) and socializing follow the service.

    On Sunday, September 7 at 3:00 pm Rabbi Magal will lead a workshop  (in-person only) during this Hebrew month of Elul in preparation for the upcoming High Holy days, with melodies and themes of the Days of Awe. Participants will review their path over the past year, including any regrets or times they “missed the mark,” and envision steps forward to realign patterns and rebuild relationships in the new year.  Rosh Hashanah this year will begin in the evening of Monday, September 22. Join our welcoming community in celebrating the Jewish New Year 5786. Full schedule on the website, jcsvv.org.

    Egalitarian, participatory Morning Minyan meets on zoom every Wednesday at 8:30 am with traditional morning blessings, healing prayers, and Kaddish, the mourner’s prayer. Come be counted in our minyan!  Link on the website.
