I’m sorry, but I’m lost. Who is this Seinfeld. I have heard the name but never read any of his books (isn’t he the best selling author) or. If not the author, been to his NYC synagogue (I always confuse the author with the famous reform Rabbi) in future, could you please clarify who these people are that you discuss and not assume universal knowledge .

Who cares what Seinfeld ordered?

Get a life people!

Seinfeld was probably asked what he wanted. It’s somebody’s job to provide it for him. Water and pickles? Not a big deal. People just sit back and relax and enjoy the show.

These request lists are prepared by his entourage who are paid to make him comfortable and know what he likes, so they send a very orderly list to whoever is in charge of catering and hospitality, so that it can all be ordered in time and arrangements made. He will make a fortune off these four nights. His requirements will cost another couple of hundred dollars – it’s no big deal, but articles like this are part of a horrible culture of capitalist greed which is designed to make us both hate and want to be celebrities. Not news.

I can certainly understand him. I’ve been living in Israel for about 20 years. There are three things from the US that I still miss and that are hard to come by in Israel: backpacking, normal lines at the post office and grocery store and decent pickles.

When you’re Seinfeld, you can demand anything you like. He’s not coming here to immerse himself in Israeli culture.

It might sound a bit prima donnaish, but it’s nothing compared with some other celebrities demand for their dressing rooms.
