This week marks five years since the tragic loss of the Space Shuttle Columbia. The shuttle carried 7 astronauts, among them, Ilan Ramon, a proud Jew and Israel's first astronaut to embark on a mission to space. Here is a moving speech delivered by Ilan's Rabbi, Rabbi Konikov from Chabad of Orlando at Columbia's Memorial Service. His words about the holocaust and the keeping of Shabbat are quite powerful.
