Marchick Family DYI Haggadah for the Leader 2012Lisa Finkelstein
Now we bless the wine. Wine has long been a symbol of joy and celebration. At this part of the Seder, we lift our cups and recite the Kiddush blessing over wine. This blessing sanctifies the day and marks the beginning of our holy celebration.
Leader: Let us lift our cups of wine and recite the Kiddush blessing together:
ברוך אתה יי אלוהינו מלך העולם בורא פרי הגפן.
Blessed are You, God or the Universe (GOU), Divine Presence, Creator of the fruit of the vine.

It recommends creating a diversity matrix with clear goals around key demographic variables like gender identity and sexual orientation. This would help ensure these aspects are given equal respect and consideration. It also notes the study could explore non-traditional families and co-parenting models. Resources from a previous LGBT Alliance study may help inform the questions and understanding of findings.
