Eytan Stibbe is now an Israeli astronaut, and one of three astronauts having paid for a flight to the International Space Station on a private mission. 
Rabbi Konikov of Chabad of the Space and Treasure Coasts in Florida prepared a Pesach food package for Stibbbe to take with him for the holiday. The food package includes hand-made shmura matza and some grape juice boxes. Stibbe will have a wine cup but will have to drink his four cups using a straw.

Chumus, or hummus, has gone on to become like Chabad and Coca Cola... you can pretty much find it anywhere you might go.

Jessica Meir is an interesting person. She is Swedish-American-Israeli, born to a Swedish American mother and to an Iraqi Israeli father. One can probably not imagine a more diverse set of cultures merging into one person. Meir seems to be brilliant, as she is an assistant professor of Anasthesia at Harvard, while also being an aquanaut and an astronaut. See her Wikipedia page for more details.

Jessica Meir will now be Israel's second astronaut, after Ilan Ramon, to go to space. She will join a Russian cosmonaut and the first astronaut from the United Arab Emirates to be leaving from Kazakhstan on September 25 to the International Space Station and is training now for that trip.

We will be following the story closely and we wish Jessica Meir a successful period of preparation for the trip and a successful trip, and obviously we hope both ways work and she comes home safely. She will make many home countries proud, considering her background.

this is fabulous. The Israel Airports Authority table for arrival times includes the Beresheet lunar landing scheduled for tonight! The time is slightly off, as it says the "Not Final" scheduled landing time is 22:00, but if I am not mistaken the landing maneuver will begin at 22:25. Either way, good job IAA!

After the Beresheet lunar module passed into the moon's orbit, it snapped and sent back these pictures of the far side of the moon. The second one has Planet Earth in the background..

This Thursday, April 11, is the scheduled landing on the moon, if everything continues to go well!

This morning the Beresheet lunar module, continuing to make its way to the moon, performed another maneuver to adjust for a precise meetup with the atmosphere of the moon. This Thursday Beresheet is meant to meet up and start its orbit around the moon in preparation for the lunar landing. Yesterday Beresheet, in its final revolution around Earth, passed through the section closest to Earth, 1700km away. The engineers were able to take the above photograph from a distance of 16,000km over Earth. This picture, showing the Western Hemisphere and northeast Africa, also shows the rain clouds over Israel..

here is the full launch of the SpaceIL lunar mission... we are rooting for it to make it all the way to the moon and land safely (estimated for April 11)! Yes, I woke up at 3:20am on Friday morning to watch the launch..

when watching the launch I noticed the white haired man with a large black kipa sitting in front of one of the computer terminals... I was wondering who he is..

If the #SpaceIL mission is successful this Thursday, Israel will become the fourth country to land an aircraft on the moon. Good luck, Beresheet!🚀 https://t.co/aO5R50eaKY
