Tonight we raise the cup, tomorrow we’ll breathe deeply and dwell in a world without borders, without limit in space or in time, a world beyond wealth or scarcity, a world where there is nothing for us to do but to be. | |
They said this day would never come, yet here we are: the surging waters have receded, there is no oppressor, no oppressed, no power but the one coursing through every living breathing satiated soul. | |
Memories of past battles fading like dry grass in the warm sun, no more talk of enemies and strategies, no more illusions, no more dreams, only this eternal moment of victory to celebrate and savor the world as we always knew it could be. | |
See how the justice we planted in the deep dark soil now soars impossibly skyward, rising up like a palm tree, like a cedar, flourishing forever ever swaying, ever bending but never breaking. | |
So tonight we raise the cup, tomorrow we’ll breathe deeply to savor a world recreated, and when sun sets once again we continue the struggle. |
This prayer for the evening of Shabbat is an adaptation of Psalms 92 (the Song for the Sabbath Day), a poetic rendering by Rabbi Brant Rosen for his congregation Tzedek Chicago. It was first published on his blog on 3 June 2021 in a post, “Judaism Beyond Zionism: Toward a New Jewish Liturgy.”

- 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.

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
