Leonard Nimoy is not a Kohen.

Wikipedia says:

The positioning of the kohen's hands during the Priestly Blessing was Leonard Nimoy's inspiration for Mr. Spock's Vulcan salute in the original Star Trek television series. Nimoy, raised an Orthodox Jew (but not a kohen), used the salute when saying "Live long and prosper."

Why certain Jewish people cannot enter a cemetery?

Male Cohanim, descendants of the priestly family of Aaron, are not allowed to enter a cemetery except at the funeral of an immediate family member (parent, sibling, spouse, or child). This is because entering the cemetery makes them ritually impure to perform the priestly tasks in the Temple. These laws are discussed in the Bible (Leviticus Chapter 21). Female Cohanim or the wives of Cohanim (unless she is pregnant) are permitted to enter a cemetery. Some communities have the custom that all pregnant or menstruating women do not enter a cemetery, to avoid ritual impurity.

Who cooks in Jewish family's?

As has been the case with most communities around the world, regardless of religious belief and ethnicity, traditionally the Jewish wife and/or mother has been placed in charge of domestic cooking. However, this is not necessarily the case nowadays - just as is the case with many non-Jewish families around the world, if the wife/mother works longer hours than another member of the family then that member may take on domestic duties, be they male or female. This may also be the case if another family member is a better cook, or simply because they enjoy cooking.
