TONIGHT’S SERVICE LEADERS Service Leader: Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum Ba’al Tefillah: Saul Zalkin Music Director and Pianist: Joyce Rosenzweig Drashah: Rabbi Sharon Kleinbaum
COMPOSER FEATURE Max Helfman (1901—1963) was born in Radzyn, Poland, and immigrated with his family to New York in 1909. He ultimately received a three-year fellowship to the Curtis Institute in Philadelphia. From 1944 to 1961, he served as head of the music department at the Brandeis Arts Institute in Santa Susana, California. Helfman’s works include Israeli folk melodies, sacred choral compositions, secular vocal music, preludes for organ, a violin sonata, chamber music, ballet music, and song arrangements. Helfman’s Friday evening service, Shabbat Kodesh (1942), is considered his most successful and enduring liturgical work.

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
אבותנו ואמותינו. ברך את ארצנו ואת כל אלוהינו ואלוהי 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 חזק לבבנו לחוש את מלוא הפחד שלנו
לאדישות כדי שלא נהפוך 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 החופש
זכינו בדורות קודמים ובעת הזוכדי שנשכיל להעריך את החופש לו מי�ם, -כעץ ש�תול על לרפא ולחזק את הדמוקרטיה שלנו שתהיה
י�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 תבל מי יתן ונהיה חזקות ואמיצים
נהיה נועזים במעשי ידנו ועמוקות בחמלה שבלבנומי יתן ו 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
לקבל את הזר ואת המהגרת, ולכבד את המתנות שמביא כל מי שת מקלט והזדמנות בארץ זו, כפי שהיה מאז לפני שאומה זו שמבק נולדה
ו�י�גל כמי�ם, מש�פט; וצדקה, כנחל איתן (עמוס ה כד)
Hebrew by Rabbi Noa Sattath
