    Sedona AZ (November 23, 2016) – Rabbi Alicia Magal of the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley is offering a workshop presenting an overview of MUSSAR, a centuries-old practice of personality development, and a disciplined practice that provides Jewish answers to questions such as “What steps can I take to bring my life closer to my spiritual potential?” “What patterns do I follow without mindfulness?” or  “Are there lessons I can learn from the experiences of previous generations?”

    The workshop will be held on Sunday, December 4, from 2:30 to 4 p.m. at the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley, 100 Meadowlark Drive in Sedona, off Hwy 179 south of the Chapel Road roundabout.

    Mussar provides ethical guidance in identifying one’s uniquely personal path of spiritual growth and offers practices to help bring about that growth. Such traits as anger vs. compassion, pride vs. humility, impatience vs. patience, and other traits are studied through readings of traditional texts, discussion, meditating, and keeping a soul accounting journal.

    At the conclusion of the workshop, participants may sign up for a course of study that will begin in February and continue for 8 sessions spread out over three months. That intense, self-reflective course will offer the opportunity to experience the tradition of learning and practicing Mussar that has engaged and helped people in their personal growth for centuries.

    There is no cost for the introductory workshop. Please RSVP to the JCSVV office at 928 204-1286.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
