Jewish
Themes in Star Trek
Rabbi
Gershom takes you where no rabbi has gone
before! You don't have to be Jewish to enjoy this well-researched and
reader-friendly journey into Jewish themes, actors, writers, in-jokes
and subtexts in the Star Trek Universe. Inspired by a class he taught
at the Minneapolis Talmud Torah, the book explores such things as: The
Jewish origin of the Vulcan salute; How Vulcan culture is based on
rabbinical Judaism; "Who is a Jew" among Trek characters in episodes,
movies and the novels; How Talmudic logic helped expand the Star Trek
universe; Why Ferengi values are NOT Jewish values -- and much more!
