The positioning of the kohen's hands during the [[Priestly Blessing]] was [[Leonard Nimoy]]'s inspiration for [[Spock|Mr. Spock's]] [[Vulcan salute]] in the [[Star Trek: The Original Series|original Star Trek television series]]. Nimoy, raised an Orthodox Jew (but not a kohen), used the salute when saying, "Live long and prosper."
The Priestly Blessing was used by [[Leonard Cohen]] in his farewell blessing during "Whither Thou Goest", the closing song on his concerts. Leonard Cohen himself was from a kohen family. He also used the drawing of the Priestly Blessing as one of his logos.
