Bahtya replied to Adina Bruce's discussion nerdfighter sign in the group Jewish Nerdfighters

"It's the "live long and prosper" sign from Star Trek. Leonard Nemoy is Jewish, raised in a traditional Jewish home (he speaks Yiddish), and probably took it from what he saw in synagogue on holidays when he was young."
