British Jewish actor and Disney star, Gregg Sulkin ("Wizards of Waverly Place", "Pretty Little Liars") landed in Israel last week for a support visit during this difficult time. For Sulkin, this is not the first time in Israel, as he arrived in Israel for his Bar Mitzvah celebrations, but this time he met with the families of the abductees with the dog tag around his neck, visited the Western Wall and even shared it with his 7.2 million followers.
"Returning to the Western Wall, years after my Bar Mitzvah, I felt a profound connection to my heritage," the actor wrote in an emotional post he uploaded to Instagram "Standing here, I am reminded of the enduring spirit and resilience of the Jewish people. In the shadow of these ancient stones, I reflect on our everlasting prayers for peace. Proud of my roots, humbled by our history, and committed to a future where peace reigns supreme."
Along with Sulkin, who came to Israel thanks to his relationship with businessman Brandon Korff, Hollywood producer Scooter Braun and comedian Jerry Seinfeld are also in Israel these days. At the beginning of the war, Nickelodeon star James Maslow and Australian star Nathaniel Buzolic, who took part in Israeli advocacy from day one, were also in Israel.
