Noah Schnapp connects to roots in Israel, snapped praying at the Western Wall
The Jewish-American actor, famous for his role in Netflix’s "Stranger Things," called his Israeli experience "so inspiring"
Jewish-American actor Noah Schnapp shared a picture from the Western Wall, saying he was “learning so much about my culture. So inspiring.”
The 18-year-old actor was made famous for his role as Will Byers on Netflix’s Stranger Things, and has been followed closely on his trips to Israel, the latest of which seems to be particularly meaningful for the young man.
On his current visit to Israel, Schnapp visited the holiest site in Judaism, the Western Wall, also known as the Kotel. He shared a picture of himself praying, wearing a yarmulke and with phylacteries wrapped around his arm and on his forehead.

Organized by Aish Global, the star was able to tour the Old City of Jerusalem with a focus on learning about his Jewish religion and culture, which turned out to be “so inspiring.” He was accompanied by Israeli social media influencers Moti Ankari and Rachel Katsner.
Both of the American actor’s parents are Jewish, with Russian and Moroccan roots. He was also seen enjoying his time in Tel Aviv, posting “in love with this place" in a photo overlooking the Mediterranean on a city balcony. Schnapp celebrated his bar mitzvah five years ago in the Holy Land.
