Thanks for the ping.

BTW, what's the big deal?
Shatner is, after all, Jewish.

Okay. Thanks. I guess I misunderstood. The way I took it was surprise that he would read from The Bible and The Haggadah.
A very normal thing for a Jewish person to do.

Sorry 'bout that.

Just as not all Christians are religious, not all Jews are either. I’m glad Shatner is. So is Nimoy.
