Happy birthday, Boris Volynov! As the first halakhic Jewish cosmonaut to boldly go where no mensch had gone before, you've truly taken "reaching for the stars" to a whole new level. Your bravery aboard Soyuz missions made history and inspired generations—proving that even in space, there's always room for chutzpah.From orbiting Earth with unmatched courage to safely landing despite challenging re-entry conditions (talk about cosmic mazel!), your adventures continue to amaze us all. May this year bring you as much joy as floating weightlessly through zero gravity—and may your candles burn brighter than rocket boosters!
Mazel tov!
