As anyone should know, there is a show based off of space, galaxies, and aliens. When you think of that, you jumped to the many classics like, Star Wars, Star Trek WAIT! There it is, there's the show we're looking for! As you may know there is a show called Star Trek, with a specific character that most have known of even if they didn't watch the show. His name was Spock.
Unfortunately the actor of Spock, Leonard Nimoy, died recently on the date of February 27, 2015, from a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. If you look into a biography of him, you will now that he was raised Jewish. Being raised Jewish usually meant ceremonies. As a child during a ceremony where you're not supposed to look, he decided to take a peek, only to see the famous hand symbol we know from him today. [] Live Long & Prosper [] This symbol is -from some research done- supposed to be the letter "S" in Jewish symbolizing.
This kind of shows an example of how religious beliefs and symbols are in the media we've watched over the decades. Almost like in other countries in the past few centuries. Where Christianity was brought to Asia, and China rebelled again that, saying only their religions and beliefs were acceptable. Not wanting to civilize like the Americas.
--[] As a little side not, a co-actor that worked along Leonard Nimoy's side for 40 years, wasn't able to make it to his own friends funeral. []--
