Transgender Day of Remembrance Shabbat We remember and recognize transgender people all over the world who have died as victims of transphobic violence. During this Shabbat service we pray, reflect, learn, and commit ourselves to repairing our broken world so that it becomes safe for people of all gender expressions and identities. After services, we will discuss Trans Jews are Here, a first-of-its-kind convening hosted by CBST with Keshet in March of 2019. Learn more about the convening and let us know what you’d like to be included. All are welcome, but the voices of trans and non-binary members of the community will be prioritized in our discussion. Tonight we remember those killed in acts of transphobic violence in the United States this year: Vontashia Bell, 18 Amia Tyrae Berryman, 28 Antash’a Devine Sherrington English, 38 Carla Patricia Flores-Pavon, 26 Nino Fortson, 36 Zakaria “Z” Fry, 28 Sasha Garden, 27 Viccky Gutierrez, 33 Tonya Harvey, 35 Cathalina Christina James, 24 Ciara Minaj Carter Frazier, 31 Phylicia Mitchell, 45

PRAYER for OUR COUNTRY

Our God and God of our ancestors, bless this country and all who dwell within it.

Help us to experience the blessings of our lives and circumstances,

To be vigilant, compassionate, and brave. Strengthen us when we are afraid, Help us to channel our anger, So that it motivates us to action. Help us to feel our fear, So that we do not become numb. Help us to be generous with others, So that we raise each other up. Help us to be humble in our fear,

knowing that as vulnerable as we feel, there are those at greater risk, and that it is our holy work to stand with them.

Help us to taste the sweetness of liberty, To not take for granted the freedoms won

in generations past or in recent days. To heal and nourish our democracy,

that it may be like a tree planted by the water whose roots reach down to the stream; it need not fear drought when it comes, its leaves are always green (Jeremiah 17:8).

Source of all Life, Guide our leaders with righteousness, Strengthen their hearts,

but keep them from hardening. That they may use their influence and authority to

speak truth and act for justice (Isaiah 16:3-5). May all who dwell in this country

share in its bounty, enjoy its freedoms, and be protected by its laws.

May this nation use its power and wealth to be a voice for justice, peace, and equality for all who dwell on earth.

May we be strong and have courage To be bold in our action and deep in our compassion, To discern when we must listen and when we must act, To uproot bigotry, intolerance, misogyny, racism,

discrimination, and violence in all its forms, To celebrate the many faces of God reflected

in the wondrous diversity of humanity, To welcome the stranger and the immigrant

and to honor the gifts of those who seek refuge and possibility here, as they have since before this nation was born.

Let justice well up like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream (Amos 5:24)

© Rabbi Ayelet Cohen

אלוהינו ואלוהי אבותנו ואמותינו. ברך את ארצנו ואת כל היושבות והיושבים בה

יחד לבבנו להודות לך על חיינו ועל הזמן הזה להיות דרוכות, אמיצים, ומלאי חמלה.

חזקנו וחזק ידנו כאשר אנו אחוזים בפחד סייע בידינו לנתב את כעסנו לידי מעשה

מלוא הפחד שלנוחזק לבבנו לחוש את כדי שלא נהפוך לאדישות

סייע לנו להשפיע נדיבות על אחרים כדי שנרים זה את זו .סייע לנו להיות צנועות בפחד, כדי שנדע כי גם כשאנו מרגישים

פגיעות, יש אחרות, הנמצאות בסיכון גבוה אף יותר, זוהי חובתנו הקדושה להיות עמן.

ברכנו בטעם המתוק של החופשנשכיל להעריך את החופש לו זכינו בדורות קודמים ובעת הזוכדי ש

מי�ם, -כעץ ש�תול על לרפא ולחזק את הדמוקרטיה שלנו שתהיהי�בא חם, ו�הי�ה עלהו �ענן; -יובל י�ש�לח ש��ש�יו, ו�א י��אה כי-ו�על

(ירמיהו יז, ח)

שכינה, אם כל חי, שלחי אורך ואמתך למנהיגנו חזקי לבבותיהם שלא יתקשו

שישתמשו בכוחן כדי לדבר אמת ולפעול בצדק (ישעיהו טז, ג-ה)מי יתן וכל יושבי הארץ יחלקו בעושרה, ישגשגו בחופש שתציע,

ויהיו מוגנים בחוקיה מי יתן ואומה זו תשתמש בכוחה ובעושרה על מנת לקדם צדק,

חופש ושלום לכל יושבי תבלחזקות ואמיצים מי יתן ונהיה

מי יתן ונהיה נועזים במעשי ידנו ועמוקות בחמלה שבלבנו שנבחין מתי עלינו להקשיב ומתי עלינו לפעול

לעקור שנאה, גזענות, שוביניזם, אפליה, אלימות בכל צורה,

לחגוג את צלם אלוהים בפנים שונות המשתקפות בכל המגוון האנושי

המתנות שמביא כל מי לקבל את הזר ואת המהגרת, ולכבד את שמבקשת מקלט והזדמנות בארץ זו, כפי שהיה מאז לפני שאומה זו

נולדה ו�י�גל כמי�ם, מש�פט; וצדקה, כנחל איתן

(עמוס ה כד)
