Jewish-American comedian Jerry Seinfeld arrived in Israel on Monday, together with his wife and children, to express solidarity with the nation following the horrific massacre that occurred on October 7. In this, Seinfeld joins other Hollywood stars who have done so, including actor Michael Rapaport, actress Debra Messing, and producer Scooter Braun.
It has not been reported with whom Seinfeld is expected to meet, or where he is expected to visit.
A few days after the October 7 carnage, Seinfeld joined the outpouring of solidarity with Israel by posting a message of support on his Instagram account, which has 1.3 million followers.
Seinfeld's love for Israel
“I lived and worked on a kibbutz in Israel when I was 16, and I have loved our Jewish homeland ever since,” Seinfeld wrote on October 10. “My heart is breaking from these attacks and atrocities. But we are also very strong people in our hearts and minds. We believe in justice, freedom, and equality. We survive and flourish no matter what. I will always stand with Israel and the Jewish people.”
The message was posted with a photo of a woman draped in an Israeli flag with the slogan: “I stand with Israel,” taken from the Israeli advocacy organization, Stand With Us.
