Live Long and Prosper
The sign that Spock does for “Live long and prosper” is actually half of what is typically done by the Cohanim Jewish rabbis when they bless the congregation. The gesture forms the letter “Shin,” which represents the name “Shaddai,” in which the meaning is “Almighty” (God).
Both Nimoy and Shatner are Jewish, and both of them are mentioned in Adam Sandler’s ‘Hanukkah song.’
Random Spock fact: Spock was the first Vulcan to enlist in Starfleet. His father didn’t speak to him for 18 years because he chose to join Starfleet instead of the Vulcan Science Academy.
