As reported here R Shlomo Goren proposed to change the text of kiddush levana, the monthly blessing on the moon's renewal

the answer began to emerge within hours of the historic Apollo 11 moon landing [...], the word came from Israel where Gen. [R] Shlomo Goren, the Armed Forces’ Chief Chaplain, issued instructions about a change in the prayer for the blessing of the new moon which is said each month. The old blessing was worded:

As I dance before you and cannot touch you, so my enemies will not be able to touch me.

and it now reads

As I dance against you and do not touch you, so others, if they dance against me to harm me, they will not touch me.

Rabbi Goren’s version of the prayer is actually an old one found in the Talmud in Masekhet Soffrim [מסכת סופרים], chapter 20 [section 2]
