Israeli Moon Mission Hits Snag, Still Expected to Be on Time
An unexpected onboard computer restart on Feb. 26 caused the
postponement of the Israeli “Beresheet” lunar spacecraft’s latest
maneuver attempt which, in turn, caused a scheduled trajectory
adjustment to be missed, JNS.org reported.

Engineers are checking whether the restart was connected to
a problem with the star navigation system. One possibility was
that the system was impacted by glare from the sun.

Despite the glitch — which never cropped up in simulations
— Beresheet is still scheduled to land on the moon on April 11.
Built-in buffers were added to the schedule in case of delays.

Israel became on Feb. 22 the first country to launch a privately
funded lunar mission — and the fourth country overall to launch
a lunar spacecraft. The SpaceX Falcon 9 launched from Cape
Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. l

Take a Sephardic Intercultural Musical Journey

AS A BOY growing up in Be’er Sheva,
Israel, Shmuel Elbaz discovered his love for
the mandolin.
The nimble, ringing sound of the mandolin
makes up the backbone of the Andalusian
music of Shmuel’s childhood — music carried
from North Africa and the Middle East to
Israel — connecting Elbaz’s Sephardic family
to their heritage.
But even as a boy, Elbaz had bigger-than-av-
erage dreams for the instrument, and when he
graduated from Jerusalem Academy of Music,
he did so as the first person ever to specialize in
the mandolin. Since then, he has won awards
for his solo work, led the Israeli Andalusian
Orchestra to the Israel Prize and gained inter-
national fame.
This March 15-18, you can hear Elbaz in
Greater Philadelphia in a four-concert series
as part of a trio of musicians who have all
been members of the Israeli Andalusian
Orchestra. Together, they capture the lushness
of Andalusian music, adding a classical touch,
and rounded out with sung Arabic, Moroccan,
French, Spanish, Algerian and Israeli poetry.
All three Israeli performers arrive as ambas-

Episode 12: Shelby and
Amy Zitelman

THIS MONTH, WE’RE breaking down the age-old stereotype of Jewish
anxiety, followed by a conversation about the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe
with Israeli reporter Eldad Beck. Finally, we’re honoring Jewish Disability and
Awareness Month by paying tribute to three amazing Jews with physical hand-
icaps who have made incredible achievements in their communities.

We also had the honor to sit down with Shelby and Amy Zitelman, two of the
three sisters behind the company Soom Foods. We talk about how they turned
their passion into a business, the partnerships they’ve built with Philadelphia
chefs and restaurants and a million uses for tahini.
