THIS SHABBAT Friday, June 14, 2019 / 12 Sivan 5779 Kabbalat Shabbat Services, 6:30pm Celebrating Gilbert Baker, z”l Parashat Naso Service Leader: Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum Ba’al Tefillah: Cantor Steve Zeidenber Pianist: Dror Baitel Guest Speaker: Charley Beal Drashah: Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum

World-famous political activist, designer and flag-maker Gilbert Baker (1951-2017) created the Rainbow Flag in 1978. Over the next four decades, his creation would become embraced across the world as the universal symbol of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movement. Gilbert’s work as a vexillographer (flag maker) spanned nearly four decades and includes distinctions for creating two flags that attained world’s records for their length.

Charley Beal is the Manager of Creative Projects for the Gilbert Baker Estate. He has spent the last 40 years art directing scenery for theater, film, and television for directors Mike Nichols, Bob Fosse, Nora Ephron, Ridley Scott and others. He is most proud of his work as the art director on the 2008 film MILK starring Sean Penn and directed by Gus Van Sant. Charley first met Gilbert Baker in 1993 collaborating on the Mile long Rainbow Flag Gilbert created for the Stonewall 25 celebration in New York City in 1994.

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

אלוהינו ואלוהי אבותנו ואמותינו. ברך את ארצנו ואת כל והיושבים בההיושבות

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 חזק לבבנו לחוש את מלוא הפחד שלנו

כדי שלא נהפוך לאדישותשנרים זה את זו .סייע לנו להשפיע נדיבות על אחרים כדי

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 החופש

כדי שנשכיל להעריך את החופש לו זכינו בדורות קודמים ובעת הזוַמי�ם, -ּכְֵעץ ׁש�תּול ַעל רטיה שלנו שתהיהלרפא ולחזק את הדמוק

י�בֹא חֹם, ו�ָהי�ה ָעלֵהּו �ֲענָן; -יּובַל י�ׁש�ּלַח ׁש��ׁש�יו, ו�א י��ֶאה ּכִי-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 תבל מי יתן ונהיה חזקות ואמיצים

מי יתן ונהיה נועזים במעשי ידנו ועמוקות בחמלה שבלבנון מתי עלינו להקשיב ומתי עלינו לפעולשנבחי

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

לחגוג את צלם אלוהים בפנים שונות המשתקפות בכל המגוון האנושי

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

נולדה ו�י�ּגַל ּכַַּמי�ם, ִמׁש�ּפָט; ּוצְָדָקה, ּכְנַַחל ֵאיָתן

(עמוס ה כד)
