On the other hand…writes Michael Kuttner
From here on earth to outer space, Israel continues to achieve great things benefitting not only its own citizens but humanity as a whole.
REACHING FOR THE STARS
It was reported this week that the Israel Space Agency would be accepting applications for an international internship program sponsored by NASA. Those selected would work at the NASA research center in California assisting in the development of new technologies for space exploration.
The Israel Minister of Science, Technology and Space stated:
“The collaboration with NASA will enable our best and brightest young researchers to be exposed to the forefront of space exploration research, to acquire experience and to utilize their knowledge in helping to push the field forward. When they get back, the knowledge and experience they will have accumulated will assist them in promoting the field of space exploration in Israel.”
TRAINING STUDENTS FROM AFRICA & ASIA
Twelve hundred students from Africa and Asia recently graduated after completing a unique agricultural training program. They came from countries as diverse as Uganda, Zambia, Kenya, Rwanda, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and the Philippines.
The aim of the program, now in its 13th year, is to transfer the theoretical knowledge that students learn to modern applied agriculture, so that graduates can go on to become successful farmers in countries where local residents depend on agriculture for their existence.
EXPORTS & RESERVES SOAR
In the first half 2017 Israel’s exports rose 6% reaching US$50 billion.
August saw record levels for Israel’s foreign currency reserves now reaching just over US$111 billion.
WHEN DISASTER STRIKES ISRAEL RESPONDS
At a time when disasters struck several countries Israel immediately responded. While others dithered, the Jewish State dispatched aid and assistance. In the face of hurricanes, storm surges, torrential rain, tornados and earthquakes in Houston, Florida, the Caribbean, Haiti and Mexico practical help arrived in the form of search & rescue equipment, food, medicines and experts trained to deal with disasters.
YOU CAN’T FOOL EVERYONE

Shana Tova – may the year ahead be another one in which Israel fulfills its destiny of being a light unto the nations.
“IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE”
How many times have we heard this statement; we have all used it.
I am privileged to be currently in Israel.
By “coincidence” I spent Last Shabbat, during Sheva Brocho (several meals), at the home of the Host who was/is very much involved in the development of Israeli Space Satelites.
Had a Few wow, wow, WOW moments (face to face) with REAL “Rocket Science” Physicist
