We Mourn...

The Orthodox Union joins in mourning the seven astronauts who tragically perished aboard the space shuttle Columbia on Shabbat. Their courage and pioneering spirit are the essence of America and of humanity’s march into the future. Among them was Colonel Ilan Ramon, z”l, the first Israeli astronaut who proudly told the world at every opportunity that he was an emissary of Israel and the entire Jewish people.  Among the many displays of his attachment to Judaism, it is reported that Col. Ramon e-mailed Israel’s President Katzav that he recited the Shema while flying over Jerusalem. May the z’chut of Col. Ramon’s proud identification as a Jew and his involvement in so many mitzvot during his last days merit him an honored place in olam haba. Yehi zichro baruch.
The Israel Defense Forces has created a special e-mail address where the public may express its condolences to the Ramon family and to the people of Israel.

The e-mail address is: ilanfamily@mail.idf.il
