What is interesting is how the Vulcan hand sign came to be. It wasn’t penned in a script by an original Star Trek writer. It wasn’t conceived by Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Trek and founder of many of its ambitious ideas. Instead, the Vulcan hand sign was the creation of Leonard Nimoy himself, who first performed it on the season two opener of Star Trek, “Amok Time.” Understanding the way various human dignitaries and cultures greet each other with different ritualistic methods, he felt the Vulcans, who in this episode were represented by Spock as he meets an important Vulcan figure for the first time, should be revealed to have a unique gesture of their own for sociological purposes. The director agreed to give it a try, and legend was born.

 

Where Nimoy came up with the salute comes from a place far more practical than the science-fiction atmospheres of Star Trek. He drew upon childhood memories of Jewish synagogue services he attended with his Yiddish-speaking grandfather. The V-shaped position is the shape of the Hebrew letter “shin,” which is the representative letter of the word “Shaddai,” a term for God, and is a gesture traditionally used by the Kohanim (Hebrew “priests”), Jews of priestly descent, during a blessing ceremony. It’s also the first letter of “Shalom,” the Jewish word for hello, goodbye, and peace.

Who gives a fuck about the dwindling "orthodox" Jews.

 

How about some sauce from the Jews themselves?
