As reported [here][1] [R Shlomo Goren][2] proposed to change the text of *[kiddush levana][3]*, 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] For further reactions, see also [Rabbis and the Moon][4].
