At 82, Paul McCartney was recently spotted attending Yom Kippur services at a synagogue in Santiago, Chile, accompanied by his wife. The former Beatle participated in the solemn observance, wearing a kippah during the prayers.
Photos captured the music icon engaged in the religious ceremony. McCartney, who performed in Israel back in 2008 despite calls for a BDS boycott, later received the prestigious Wolf Prize in 2018.
The Wolf Prize, awarded annually in Israel since 1978, honors living scientists and artists worldwide for their contributions to humanity and their efforts to promote harmony among people, regardless of nationality, religion, race, gender, or political beliefs.
You say goodbye, and I say hello (to the Jewish new year).
