זָכ֕וֹר אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֥ה לְךָ֖ חָמָ֑אס בַּיוֹ֥ם שִׂמְחַתְכֶ֖ם הָעֲצַֽרֶת׃ אֲשֶׁ֨ר שָׂרַֽפְךָ֜ מִשָׁמַ֗יִם וַיְזַנֵּ֤ב בְּךָ֙ מִן־הַיוֹשְׁבִ֣ים בְּגְּבוּלוֹתֶ֔יךָ וְאַתָּ֖ה עָיֵ֣ף וְיָגֵ֑עַ וְשָׂנֵ֖א אִ֥ישׁ אֶת־אָֽחִיו׃	Remember that which was done to you by Hamas, on the day of your gladness, the Assembly. That burned you from the skies, and kidnapped from within you, from those who dwelled by your borders… and you were tired and weary, and each man hated his brother.
וְהָיָ֡ה בְּהָנִ֣יחַ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֣יךָ לְ֠ךָ מִכָּל־אֹ֨יְבֶ֜יךָ מִסָּבִ֗יב בָּאָ֨רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר יְהוָֽה־אֱ֠לֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵ֨ן לְךָ֤ נַֽחֲלָה֙ לְרִשְׁתָּ֔הּ תִּמְחֶה֙ אֶת־זֵ֣כֶר חָמָ֔ס מִתַּ֖חַת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם לֹ֖א תִּשְׁכָּֽח׃	It will be, when YHWH your God will emplace you firmly from all your enemies surrounding you, in the Land that YHWH your God gave to you, a heritage to inherit – wipe out the very memory of Hamas from beneath the skies – do not forget!
	May the One who answered Moshe, Aharon, and Ḥur, Shimshon, Shaul, and Dovid, Mordeḥai and Esther, answer us speedily and in our days.

This is a riff on the mitsvah to obliterate Amaleq in Parashat Zakhor, adapted to the horrors committed by HAMA”S and its allies on 7 October 2023.

Additional Notes:

The views expressed in this work represent the views of their creator(s) and do not necessarily represent the views of the Open Siddur Project's developers, its diverse community of volunteer contributors, or its institutional partners.
We strongly advise against printing sacred texts and art containing divine names as these copies must be regarded with reverence, complicating their casual treatment and disposal.
If you must dispose of a printed sacred text (one containing Divine Names), please locate the closest genizah (often established by a synagogue) and contact its custodians for further instructions. We also recommend using Morah Yehudis Fishman's Prayer for Adding a Work to the Genizah.

Support this work: The Open Siddur Project is a volunteer-driven, non-profit, non-commercial, non-denominational, non-prescriptive, gratis & libre Open Access archive of contemplative praxes, liturgical readings, and Jewish prayer literature (historic and contemporary, familiar and obscure) composed in every era, region, and language Jews have ever prayed. Our goal is to provide a platform for sharing open-source resources, tools, and content for individuals and communities crafting their own prayerbook (siddur). Through this we hope to empower personal autonomy, preserve customs, and foster creativity in religious culture.
