Space travel, Jewish world values, and Yiddishkeit conjoin in this visual stunner that relates the uniquely inspiring life and out-of-this-world journey of Jewish-American astronaut Dr. Jeff Hoffman. On his five space missions, he chose to bring numerous Jewish objects, such as mezuzot, dreidels, and atarot from his sons’ tallitot into space. The most notable item was a small Torah scroll that he took on his last mission.
