I love this video.
Does it bother you that you have to face the dome and the rock to say the sh'ma?

This totally changes my view of him. American Idol and Priceline gave me bad views about him, but this is much better. One thing I can say is that it is great that he feels free to speak his mind.

Leonard Nemoy(actor playing Spock) is. And a sickening iconoclast

eg his "art"  - photos of nude women wearing male jewish prayer garments

We should stop getting excited by JINO, / accidentally jewish.

Well, I will present positive evidence in Leonard Nimoys case.  He has done tapes which preserve authentic Jewish music through the years. Here is a link to this information : http://www.milkenarchive.org/articles/articles.taf?function=detail&ID=102

Radio Series with Leonard Nimoy Available On Naxos Web Radio and Podcasting

The much-praised 13-part radio series "American Jewish Music from the Milken Archive with Leonard Nimoy," which aired on radio stations across the country last season, is now available internationally on Naxos Web Radio (www.NaxosRadio.com) channels 53 to 55.

The series of two-hour broadcasts produced by WFMT explores a variety of topics, from Yiddish theater to symphonies and concertos on Jewish themes to the great cantorial tradition, and includes commentary by conductor Gerard Schwarz and Milken Archive Artistic Director Neil W. Levin, with insights from Milken Archive founder Lowell Milken.

The series can also be downloaded and streamed as podcasts in the 'Podcasts' section of www.Naxos.com at www.naxos.com/podcasts/podcastslist.asp.

Following is a summary of episodes in the 13-part radio series, American Jewish Music from the Milken Archive with Leonard Nimoy, a production of the Milken Archive of American Jewish Music and WFMT Radio Network.

Despite his being a 'reform Jew' he does seem to hold his Jewish identity very dearly. From his biography @ http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/biography/Leonard_Nimoy.html .

Quote
Nimoy maintains his connection to the Jewish community, and is an adherent of Reform Judaism. One of his best known roles was that of Tevye in the musical Fiddler on the Roof. In 1997, he narrated, along with Sarah Jessica Parker, the documentary A Life Apart: Hasidism in America, about the various sects of Hasidic Orthodox Jews. In October 2002, Nimoy published Shekhina, a photographic study of women intended to visualize the feminine aspect of God’s presence. He has also been involved in hosting and producting a series of radio programs of great Jewish short stories.

In this case I will assume the role of Hillel and judge Mr. Nimoy favorably while my friend q_q_ will judge him harshly.

Muman, you've been told already, not to provoke me.

I told you, I won't quote you, you don't quote me. Don't refer to me and I won't refer to you.

But since you've continuously gone against this, and STILL, you continuously make your stupid comments in response to my posts, I will respond.

You are a complete idiot. You even judge Esau as a righteous man. 

So yes, you judge Leonard Nemoy as such too

Politically you've gone from right to left to "right".

You only became religious because of a national and personal tragedy that hit you on 9/11. You have no logic and only react to emotions.

In any serious discussion you suddenly lose all your "facts"

You are unable to argue any case.  You are intellectually inept.

I've told you, GO AWAY.  Stop quoting me.  You are the cause of endless bickering.

I will ALLOW many of your misconceptions and future misconceptions about judaism to remain without my comment or further comment.. For the sake of the forum - it may be chaim and shlomo's wishes, so the forum isn't littered with you trying to defend yourself and throwing even more of your nonsense around.  I have already said, that your posts are all wrong.. And that's enough for me.

But don't provoke responses from me.

Here you try to insult me by comparing me to the sage Shammai.
To you, Shammai is a bad person. 

Believe me. You are a fly compared to Shammai. And you know it and would admit it in your own pathetic roundabout way.

The same roundabout way that you tell a whole category of members that they are going to hell..  In such a sly way that they don't even realise you've said it. These same people of even lower intellectual calibre than you, wouldn't jump to your defence if they knew your view. Here you refer to me as a "friend". What a sick joke.
 
You have already abused your position as a moderator by moving threads out when you can't defend your position.  You compare yourself to Hillel? You don't compare to either Hillel or Shammai. You've never had a reasonable debate in your entire existance.

And since you like Leonard Nemoy so much, you can listen to his music while meditating over his art work, of naked women wearing tallit and/or teffilin. This is fine with you, you like his music.  Of course, that's what counts

Now go away after this thread i.e. don't bother me anymore.

You can continue making a mess of this thread because you can't control yourself. Just like ,you can't control yourself from scoffing your fried chips. But after that. Go away

You compare me to Peter as in Spiderman.

I will compare you to Peter as in Peter Pan, now put down your fried chips, and fly away.

God bless him! The old Star Trek was much better than NG which is mostly socialist and humanist where as classic had some biblical and moral references in its episodes.
