On Saturday, Feb. 1, space shuttle Columbia plummeted to Earth in flames. Aboard were 7 astronauts: Commander Rick Husband, an Air Force colonel from Amarillo, TX; Pilot William McCool, a Navy test pilot; Payload Commander Michael Anderson, who had traveled to Russia’s Mir space station in 1998; Mission Specialist Kalpana Chawla, an engineer who emigrated to the U.S. in the 1980s; Mission Specialist David Brown, a Navy jet pilot as well as a doctor; Mission Specialist Laural Clark, a diving medical officer aboard submarines; and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli in space.
During a recently televised conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Ramon said, “I call upon every Jew in the world to plant a tree in the land of Israel during the coming year. I would like to see at least 13 or 14 million new trees planted in Israel exactly one year from now, on the anniversary of the launching”. Officials with The Jewish National Fund (JNF) accepted the challenge immediately by planting trees in honor of Ramon, whose first name means “tree”. To plant your tree in Israel in honor of Ilan Ramon and the rest of the Columbia crew, call 800-542-TREE or visit www.jnf.org.
