Can you sink any lower than mocking your own faith to make money?
Believe me, the scene Nimoy enacts in the first three minutes is a bizarre mutation of normal Jewish prayer, which does NOT include hand gestures or pulling the **talith** over the head like a child playing at worship.
Traditionally as a catholic I'm used to the priest talking in the local language and facing the front.
However before priest used to talk in Latin and talk to the cross and they may still do it in some places.
I'm not Jewish, but I think it makes sense for the priest to cover their faces if the spirit kills you when you see it.
Only Leonard Nimoy could realise a spiritual relevance for a potentially silly, basically just pop TV sci-fi character like Spock for an audience (of any religion) today. More L. Nimoy's in this world, please...
Great connections, Nimoy! Love you! *makes Vulcan hand gestures*
