Inspired by a class I once taught at the Minneapolis Talmud Torah, the book explores such things as: The Jewish origin of the Vulcan salute (read excerpt) ; how Vulcan culture is based on rabbinical Judaism; Do the Romulans resemble modern Israelis? Is Worf really a Klingon version of a ba'al tshuvah? Plus: proof positive that the Ferengi were based on Yankee traders, not the Jews!

Where to get it: After 5 years of fruitless attempts to get a major publisher to take this, I self-published the book on lulu.com - you can order it in hardcover, softcover or a download at my lulu homepage. You can see the cover art here -->>> that's nebula NGC1818 -- double chai!

Get a FREE desktop image of the Enterprise flying through this nebula at this link on Box.net -- my gift to you, feel free to pass it around. (The nebula is turned sideways on the wallpaper to fit your screen but hey, there's no "up" or "down" in space anyway!)

This group began as an announcement list for the book. Now that the book is out, I am keeping the list here so that A) you can receive any further announcements (new editions, etc.) and B) to preserve the resource links and such.
