Storyline

As more Jews become astronauts, one question becomes unavoidable: how do you observe the Sabbath and high holidays in space? This charming short documentary explores the answer, along with plenty of fascinating insights into Jewish astronauts and scientists as well as Judaism itself. Featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, astronauts Jeffrey Hoffman and Jessica Meir, and a quorum of rabbis and researchers.
