Here we are, on the eve of Thanksgiving. No matter what anyone thinks, this one's for the ages, for the blessings wherever they might appear. For brevity, I had to leave a bunch of stuff out!
The helmets, jerseys, cleats and gloves will feature nods to astronauts -- as the school looks to pay homage to the 54 Naval Academy graduates who went on to become space explorers.
Royal birth certificates. For those born to wander, don't leave home without one. Any wonder why Lone Starr was discovered outside of a monastery in the 4D galaxy? Plenty of space over Zalman, er zman, time.
One small step for man...One giant leap for Navy Football.
On the Twitter link is the must-see vid. At 37 (= "Yechida" יחידה) seconds, the back of the helmet reads:

Genesis 32 -- where Jacob was dubbed "Israel" for making the other guy cry out for David [דוד], which is to say, to cry 'uncle' [דוד].
Clever. There was a blessing for doing that. L'Chaim! (Hip, Hip, Hooray!)

The Navy video begins by announcing "ingition sequence". (There is no return -- Apollo 11 master ignition routine, see line R0022.)
Which was recently placed here after 70 years.
As kids, we look to the stars and dream of the unknown..
17 Kislev, 5783
Chumash Parshat Vayeishev, 1st Portion (Genesis 37:1-37:11)1. And Jacob lived in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan:
2. These are the generations of Jacob; Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers...
>>>
9. And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brothers, and said, Behold, I have again dreamed a dream; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me:
10. And he told it to his father, and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him, and said to him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow down ourselves to you to the earth:
11. And his brothers envied him; but his father kept the matter in mind:
My favorite "typo" on the internet:
As we have already seen, early on Joseph is linked to the fulfillment of Jacob's legacy.
These are the generations of Jacob, Joseph was seventeen years old ...[Genesis 37:2]
At the outset, the Torah connects Jacob with Joseph. Of all his sons specifically Joseph holds the key to not only Jacob's but the family's ission.
Words that end in -ission, where to start?? Literally, on that page:

There's also fission, commission, mission, permission..
"Lift off. We have a lift off."

FROM THE SEA TO THE STARS
Jacob and Joseph Reunite After 22 Years
Now,
37 years ago, when Doc introduced Marty to the DMC time machine (the way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?), the date was 11 Cheshvan, 5746, Jewish Mother's Day and the Sabbath beginning with the verse famously quoted for explaining why Abraham was the first Jew. "Lech Lecha", here you go:
Genesis 12.1 And the Lord had said to Abram, Get out from your country, and from your family, and from your father's house, to a land that I will show you:
Which was a little demo by Einstein (😜) in explaining why it is that
Where we're going we don't need roads.
And they don't call it the Cartesian coordinate system for nothing. A "reborn" man whose lineage is named for a charter/covenant/map is not destined to become lost.
Bonus info [for not-so-distant future reference] is the Hebrew word for a map. Like with the time machine, or the U.S. Government, it's a good idea to take note of three-letter agents:

... born to wander...
Osnat only appeared to be an Egyptian on the surface, because as the midrash explains, Joseph saw that she wore a pendant that identified her as a daughter of Jacob -- a true royal princess. After all, what kind of cartouche would display the name of the God of Abraham? Joseph knew how to reed, a skill he inherited from his mother, the mother of all Israel..
The word for peace to reign --
"David"
Look what immediately precedes Psalm 133:
17. There I will make the horn of David to bud; I have prepared a lamp for my anointed:
18. His enemies I will clothe with shame; but upon himself his crown shall flourish:

About that half shekel for the atonement of souls, for all of you academy grads out there: heads I win, tails you lose, so here's the Irish analog.
Or as the dreidel face that signifies nothing, the letter nun. 😂
I named the place "Puniel", because I have met God pun-to-pun, and my Sol(e) is preserved.
One small step for man...One giant leap for Navy Football.
So how about that Haftarah for the week when Apollo 11 (Columbia, the "dove") splashed down on Tisha B'Av in the sea named for peace?...
Is 40.3. A voice cries, Prepare in the wilderness the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God...
