  • Israel and Jordan We Are Dedicated to Making Your Experience Rich in Content and Superior in Comfort
    A Program of the Museum of Jewish Heritage The Israel Less Traveled + Ancient Petra & Jerash Israel and Jordan We are dedicated to making your experience rich in content and superior in comfort. December 4-15, 2018 This unique travel program combines the expertise and resources of two organizations that cherish the traditions, achievements, and faith of Jewish communities – past and present – around the world. Jewish Heritage Travel and the Museum of Jewish Heritage are delighted to have the opportunity to share this rich, varied, and poignant history and culture with you on these select trips. We look forward to traveling with you. Program Overview Our trip will begin in Jerusalem – where ancient history mingles with modern-day life and stirs our emotions like no other place on earth. From Jerusalem, we will head south to Mitzpe Ramon—Israel’s Grand Canyon, a spectacular site where thousands of birds migrating from Europe to Africa stop to rest each year and where we will pause and enjoy our stay at Beresheet—a world class hotel and spa situated high above the Machtesh (canyon). En route, we will visit Avdat- a UNESCO World Heritage- built by the Nabataeans in the 2nd Century CE and seldom seen by most tourists. From Mitzpe Ramon, we will drive to Eilat and cross the border to Jordan where we will tour the ancient “rose red” city of Petra— carved out of solid rock, surrounded by soaring temples and elaborate Royal Tombs. Following our stay in Petra, en route to returning to Tel Aviv, we will stop at Mount Nebo—where Moses is said to have been shown the Promised Land…which he would not reach.

  • Space Shuttle Discovery Launched on the First Post-Columbia Mission on July 26, 2005, 905 Days After the Accident
    AFTERWORD Space shuttle Discovery launched on the first post-Columbia mission on July 26, 2005, 905 days after the accident. Coincidentally, the launch took place at 10:39 A.M. EDT, the same time as Columbia’s launch on its final flight. STS-114 was the culmination of a $1.4 billion effort to improve the shuttle, most notably the External Tank. The bipod foam was replaced with an electrical heater to prevent ice from forming. Marshall Space- flight Center External Tank manager Sandy Coleman promised that no foam larger than a marshmallow would fall off of the improved tank. In the 147-page press kit’s description of all of the improvements to the shuttle, KSC’s acceptance of the industry standard definition for FOD (Foreign Object Debris) is presented as a positive. In a spin doctor- ing attempt it’s described how new FOD procedures improve safety, and ignores that FOD rules existed until two years before the Columbia acci- dent when the rules were reduced in a conscious move to make more bonus money for the contractor. Over 100 tracking cameras viewed Discovery’s launch. The E208 camera in Cocoa Beach, the one that had been “soft focused” on STS- 107, was replaced with a state-of-the-art setup. Cameras were also mounted on Discovery’s External Tank and Solid Rocket Boosters, and The bipod fitting on STS-114, on the right, shows the most significant external change— there is no longer any foam on the bipod fitting. 428 AFTERWORD 429 two aircraft with high-definition cameras offered the unique perspective of a shuttle flying toward the viewer.
