''This article relates to the fictional [[Star Trek]] character. The author and pediatrician is found at'' [[Benjamin Spock]].

'''Spock''' is a fictional character from the ''Star Trek'' television series and films. Spock was a halfbreed born of Human and [[Extraterrestrial life in Star Trek#Vulcan|Vulcan]] parents. As with all Vulcans, he has the characteristic pointed ears and pointed eyebrows and is known for his near total repression of his own emotions and reliance on logic. One of his famous logic-based quotes is "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few".

The Vulcan salute used often by Spock was created by Nimoy (a neo-orthodox Jew) and is a single handed copy of the two handed gesture used when reciting the [[Aaron]]ic blessing in {{Bible ref|Numbers|6|22-27}}. The gesture is intended to signify the [[Hebrew]] letter shin, the first letter in "Shekhina" or the presence of God. The associated "live long and prosper" is taken from the same passage.
