JERUSALEM — Comedian Jerry Seinfeld performed to sold-out audiences in Tel Aviv ove the weekend.
Seinfeld performed two shows on Saturday night and two more on Sunday evening at an 11,000-seat basketball arena. The performances are Seinfeld’s first in Israel.
“Oh my god, I’m in Israel!” he said at the beginning of his first one-hour show.
During his encore, Seinfeld took questions from the audience. He did not discuss the security situation or talk specifically about Israel during his routine.
The comedian, who starred in the eponymous hit TV show in the 1990s, last visited Israel in 2007 when he was promoting “The Bee Movie.”
In 1971, he volunteered on an Israeli kibbutz.

But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
