Comedian Jerry Seinfeld says his visit to Israel last year in the wake of the Hamas massacre was powerful.

In an interview with Bari Weiss for The Free Press, Seinfeld called his visit, which included a trip to the devastated border community of Kibbutz Be’eri and meeting with freed hostages, “the most powerful experience of my life.”

Pressed by Weiss to elaborate, Seinfeld grows visibly emotional and struggles to speak, wiping his eyes before they move on to another topic.
