NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli took the opportunity to bring a beloved Hanukkah game to new heights last week when she shared a video of a dreidel spinning in zero gravity aboard the International Space Station. In place of lighting a real menorah, which cannot be done aboard the space station, Moghebli marked the holiday by sticking a felt cutout of a menorah onto a window in the Space Station and “lighting” it each night with stick-on flames. Moghebli shared the video of the zero-gravity dreidel spinning in front of the felt menorah on X, formerly Twitter, with the caption: “Happy Hanukkah from the @Space_Station!! Real candles not allowed! The video shows the dreidel spinning at a consistent pace in midair for close to a minute before it eventually bumps into the camera and slows down, tilting onto its side. Moghbeli is a flight engineer and mission commander for SpaceX’s Crew-7 which departed for the Space Station in August of this year. During a press conference in July, she said that her family had made the felt menorah for her so that she could be included in their Hanukkah celebrations from afar. https://www.timesofisrael.com/astronaut-celebrates-hanukkah-with-zero-gravity-dreidel-spin/
