KEY POINTS:
Israelis are buzzing about Jerry Seinfeld, who's in the Holy Land to promote his new animated movie about bees.
Seinfeld makes an unlikely folk hero in this Hebrew-speaking Mediterranean nation, with his nothing-happens comedy genre set in the high-rise apartment buildings of New York City and based on rapid-fire English dialogue. But folk hero he is, as evidenced by the massive local media coverage his visit is receiving.
Seinfeld has met both the Israeli prime minister and the president.
