Live long and prosper

Ever since I was a little girl I have had a thing for Leonard Nimoy. More specifically spock.

Today I was reminded of the story of the vulcan greeting hand sign.

Nimoy said once that he got the idea for the sign from his Rabbi as it was something that he did during a blessing.

I was reminded of this by a Rabbi. My daughter and I attended a service for a friend who was getting/becoming Bat Mitzvah ( pardon me I have forgotten how to phrase this).

Any way at the end the Rabbi had her put her hands out in a pasture of giving and then of receiving and then both hands stretched out with her hands in the classic Vulcan pose. My daughter's Jaw dropped and her head snapped toward me.I told her the story and she was surprised and exited to learn this bit of fandom trivia.

Now if only I had time to watch some classic Trek before sleep takes over.
