The hope for a better new year was cut off instantly for Ramon’s family. On the thirteen of September the history repeated it -self. Six years after Ilan Ramon was killed, in the explosion of Columbia’s space shuttle, his older son, Assaf Ramon, was killed in an aerial accident during routine training in the I.A.F.
Assaf Ramon was killed in tragic circumstances. Only three month after he graduated with honors the Pilot Course, he was killed when his plane crashed near Mount Hebron. I don't know exactly what happened to Assaf on the airplane in his last moments, but the only thing I know is that the plane fell apart into many pieces, like Assaf's body.
When his father, the first Israeli astronaut, was killed, Assaf always said he wished to follow his father's path- to become the second Israeli astronaut. But neither of us thought that fate would choose the path of death. Thousands of people came to the cemetery of Nahalal, where Assaf was buried near his father, to pay their respects for the courageous pilot.
Assaf was one of a kind, the salt of the earth, loyal solder and beloved son of Israel. It is unperceived that we are talking about Assaf Ramon in the past tense. The least we can do is send our warmest consolations to the Ramon’s family, and keep the memory of these two brave souls alive.
The first of September wasn’t only an exciting day for the Israeli students, but also an historic day for all of Madonna’s enthusiastic fans in Israel. For the first time since 1993, the Queen of Pop came back to Israel to sign a successful “Sticky and Sweet Tour”.Madonna is considered the Queen of Pop, and she earned this title for endless years of work in the music industry. Madonna came to Israel during her amazing "Sticky and Sweet Tour", which became the highest grossing tour ever by a solo artist.
The previous time Madonna was in Israel was 16 years ago, but unfortunately, I didn’t know her at that time. Yet, even after 16 years, at the age of 51, she gave her best and spectacular tour, which once again proved who the real Queen here.
This year Israel has opened its gateways to several great international singers like Paul McCartney, Lady Gaga and Depeche Mode. But I think that Madonna's concert was the most electrifying event of the year. Madonna said during the concert that she couldn’t think of a better place than Israel since her last concert, and all we have to do is wait for the Queen’s next arrival to Israel.This is much-much better. Good work!(100)Daphna
