He also recalled the memories of his childhood at Hanukkah in doc.
"The menorah was silvery and blackened a little by years of use. The places where the candles came in were black no matter how much burnout was done, "Shatner said. "It was something that stayed somewhere on the chimney all year until it was used – and then it was used with a lot of respect."
The actor born in Montreal, known for playing Captain Kirk in "Star Trek," also explained how his mother would latke during the holidays.
"My mother is standing over a frying pan, putting the potato mixture, the chopped potatoes into the sizzling fat, the oil, and cooking the potato pancakes," he declared. "The [memory of] potato pancakes and applesauce … and the family all around having pancakes is indelible. "
