Message à transmettre : 1) Que les hanihim sortent de la peoula en sachant qui était Ilan Ramon, son histoire, sa spécificité, pourquoi il est considéré comme un héros en Israël et dans le peuple juif.

2) Faire réfléchir les hanihim sur ce qui est important pour eux, quels valeurs et objets ont une signification pour eux, qu’ils souhaiteraient garder toujours avec eux …même dans L’espace !!!
