	STAR TREK: The Jewish Origin of the Vulcan Salute
		This "Vulcan salute, " as it has come to be called, was invented on the set by Leonard Nimoy during the filming of the second-season opener, &QUOT;Amok Time."; In this episode, Spock goes into something like a male estrus cycle, called pon farr in the Vulcan language.
		Nimoy felt that there should be some kind of distinctive greeting among Vulcans, analogous to a handshake or a bow.
		The Vulcan salute came not from protest marches, but from the pulpit of Nimoy's childhood synagogue.

		Recently Nimoy has been working on the Shekhinah project, a photographic study of women intended to visualize the feminine aspect of God's presence, inspired by Kabbalah (esoteric Jewish mysticism.) Nimoy has long been active in the Jewish community, and is an adherent of Reform Judaism.
		Nimoy came up with the "Vulcan Neck Pinch," his trademark move that enables Vulcans to render others unconscious.
		Nimoy also devised the "Vulcan Salute" consisting of a raised hand, palm forward with the fingers parted between the middle and ring finger.

	Chapter 1: the Hand of "El caballero de la mano al pecho"
		The blessing is pronounced with each of the hands formed into a shin, touching forefingers and thumbs, second and third fingers joined, fourth and fifth fingers joined, with the arms raised over the head, traditionally covered by a shawl.
		Nimoy states in his autobiography that he adopted the greeting, "Live long and prosper," and its accompanying one-handed "Vulcan salute," from the Kohanic blessing's shin, taken from his orthodox Jewish heritage.17 In the larger realm, there is no letter or religious gesture, Hebrew or otherwise, similar to the splayed hand in El Greco's painting.
		The caballero's stylized gesture is actually non-existent in the known Hebrew tradition of the 16th century, whereas the gesture of the Kohanic blessing existed for centuries prior to El Greco.

		Murray Leeder: We know that "humans" as a species are no longer economics driven, but that doesn't mean that certain humans opted to earn a profit.
		Then "Lenny Neeboy" comes out after, Vulcan ears and all, logically singing/saying "This old man. He played one.
		Joseph Lin: I have a question, on the back of the most recent "Journey to Babel" video jacket, it claims that the 'close up' of Spock showing McCoy how to do the Vulcan salute is not seen in this episode.
