23 years ago this week, 7 astronauts perished as the
Space Shuttle Columbia re-entered Earth's atmosphere.
Amoung the seven was the first Israeli astronaut,
Ilan Ramon z"l.
The Yahrzeit of Astronaut Ilan Ramon is the 29th of Shvat.
February 16, 2026
I have a memorial page for him at:
https://jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/space.htm
May his memory be for a bless.
On a final, brighter note: I added two new Spotify
playlists to my Spotify page at:
https://jr.co.il/spotify.htm
* The Ventures - 14 instrumental hits including
the theme to Hawaii-5-o which is my smartphone ringtone.
* Movie Themes - 41 cool themes
BTW - I use the Spotify app on my phone with
their free sign up. I do not need the extra features
of their paid subscription.
Many people read my updates via mailing lists, Facebook posts,
Whatsapp groups, etc...
I do not always post on all places.
You can always read my latest posts and the past 18 years on
my blog at:

Please continue to pray for and support Israel.

Educational Resources for International Holocaust Remembrance Day - January 27
Shalom.
International Holocaust Remembrance Day is January 27.
On my website, there are 170+ links to learn about the Holocaust.
Site languages include English, Hebrew, French, German,
Italian, Russian, and Spanish.
https://jr.co.il/hotsites/holocaust.htm
Since I created the page in 1997, I have been updating it
at least 2 times a year: before International Holocaust
Remembrance Day - January 27 and before
Yom HaShoah - this year on April 14, 2026.
If a site listed is no longer online, I try to find an archive copy of
the site in archive.org.
Over 22 years ago, in September 2003, IAF jets flew over Auschwitz
to commemorate holocaust victims. Images and a video of the
event are posted at:
https://jr.co.il/pictures/israel/history/f15-jets-over-auschwitz.htm
Please share this message. Thank you.
We must not forget.
Please continue to pray for and support Israel.

May the wounded have a complete and speedy recovery.
May God protect the IDF, the police, the security forces
and all of Am Yisrael.
