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!
