As a child, Jeff's head was often in the clouds.
As an astronaut, he journeyed far beyond them. On his final mission, Jeff brought a miniature Torah into orbit for an out-of-this-world Shabbat celebration!
In Space Torah, a picture book biography of astronaut Jeffrey Hoffman, young readers learn of Jeff's path to becoming an astronaut and see the many ways in which he connected his love of Judaism and his love of outer space.
