Ever since I was a little girl, I have been waiting for the Jews in Space that Mel Brooks promised me in History of the World: Part I. But alas, it never happened. And what happened in History of the World: Part II doesn’t count.
Having said that. We finally got Jews in Space because NASA Astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli posted a video of a dreidel spinning in front of a paper menorah (they can’t light candles in Space) from the International Space Station!
So, I say to her and all the astronauts in the ISS, Happy Chanukah, and thank you for finally making my dream come true! Now, can you do a song and dance number in the style of Mel Brooks? Too much, I know!
