An additional stanza for Ma’oz Tzur, to be placed after חֲשׂוֹף זרוֹעַ קדְשֶׁךָ. | |
וְאַרְצָה מְעוֹן צִיּוֹנֵנוּ הוֹצֵיא כְאוֹר מִשְׁפָּטֵנוּ שַׁחְרֵר מֵחָמָס מִשְׁפַּחְתֵּנוּ וּתְנֵנוּ שְׁלוֹמֵנוּ כִּי שׂוֹנֵאנוּ אָחִינוּ וּמִשְׁתַּלֵּחַ לְהַחְרִיבֵנוּ לָעֶרֶב אוֹר לַבּוֹקֶר דְּרוֹר כְּטַל חֶרמוֹן בְּאַרְצֵנוּ |
And towards the Land, abode of our Tzion, bring out like light our judgment![1] Adapted from Mussaf of Rosh haShanah Free from violent hatred our family, and give us our peace! For our brother hates us, and he lashes out to destroy us, By the evening – light,[2] Zechariah 14:7 by the morning – freedom, like the dew of Hermon[3] Psalms 133:3 in our land. |
This is a supplemental stanza to the popular 13th century piyyut, Maoz Tsur, for the Ḥanukkah occurring in the aftermath of the horrors on 7 October.

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.
ויהי נעם אדני אלהינו עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננה עלינו ומעשה ידינו כוננהו "May the pleasantness of אדֹני our elo’ah be upon us; may our handiwork be established for us — our handiwork, may it be established." –Psalms 90:17
