 Shalom from the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley. Erev Shabbat services on Friday, June 8, begin at 7:30 p.m., led by Rabbi Alicia Magal. Usher in the Sabbath with song, prayers, readings, and a relevant message bringing the theme of the Torah reading into our lives today. Members of the extended Sherman family will participate in the service and sponsor the Oneg refreshments in honor of their family reunion.

Saturday, June 9, Torah study and discussion led by Rabbi Magal begins at 11 a.m.

The Torah portion for this week is Ba-ha’alotecha (Numbers 8:1 - 12:16) in which Aaron the High Priest raises p the light of the seven-branched menorah lamp, the tribe of Levi is initiated into the service in the Tabernacle Sanctuary, and Moses offers a short and heartfelt prayer for his sister Miriam when she is stricken with a skin disease. “Please God, heal her” is all her says, but his plea models for us the power and importance of offering healing prayers for the sick.

The second topic for our study of later biblical books will be a continuation of our exploration of II Samuel, regarding the intriguing and dramatic life and legacy of King David. Potluck luncheon follows the study session.

Artists in Rhythm presents The Dynamite Diva Concert on Saturday, June 9, 7 p.m. Tickets are $25. Tickets can be acquired at the Jazz Bouquet in Bashas’ Shopping Plaza.

A synagogue-sponsored Bereavement Group will continue on Tuesday, June 12, with the second of 4 weekly sessions at a private home. Call office for information and registration.

Wednesday, June 13, 8:30 a.m. Egalitarian morning minyan for a midweek spiritual lift.

The JCSVV is a warm, welcoming, egalitarian congregation, unaffiliated with a particular stream of Judaism. The synagogue is located at 100 Meadowlark Drive, off Hwy 179 just south of the Chapel Road roundabout. Call (928) 204-1286 or visit www.jcsvv.org.
