Graham said: "David, did you know that the expression by Spock is actually an abbreviated version of a traditional Jewish religious blessing? Spock himself was Jewish, I understand."

I think the "blessing" you are referring to is based on a joke about the two Jewish ladies talking about a restaurant. The one says "The food there is terrible!" The other says, "Yes, and such small portions!" Interpretation: Life is miserable, and so short. (courtesy of Woody Allen in Annie Hall). So Dr. Spock's blessing is the exact opposite of short and miserable; "Live long and Prosper"

What do I know, my family's not Jewish anymore, now that my Grandmother destroyed all the pictures of her relatives in yarmulkas (skull-caps), and tells all her bridge friends that we're German. Go figure.

The split finger Vulcan sign was also of Jewish origin. Nimoy said in an article that he saw it as a boy in synagogue.
For the record, Canadian William Shatner was also Jewish.

And it was the Canadian part of him that made him talk funny.

And it was probably the B.C. argriculture that made him think he should redo "Rocketman" in spoken word.

We have a street in Kanata named after Billy.
