One of the Fab Four, legendary ex-Beatle Paul McCartney, was spotted at a synagogue in Chile on Yom Kippur.

Photographs showed members of the congregation of Círculo Israelita de Santiago thrilled at being in the presence of the famed singer, songwriter, and bassist for the band that changed rock n roll.

McCartney, who is not Jewish, wore a kippah while attending services with his wife, Nancy Shevell, a member of the tribe.

The couple attended services in Chile, where they were taking a break from the 82-year-old rocker’s World Tour.

Paul McCartney’s first wife, Linda Eastman, who died of cancer in 1998, was a member of a prominent Jewish family in Scarsdale, New York.

Pictures of Paul McCartney at the synagogue on Yom Kippur went viral, with enthusiastic comments on Reddit, such as, “Dear Sir Paul Mccartney—You are a Mensch!!! Thank you for standing with us.”

This isn’t the first time McCartney has been seen at a synagogue; he was also spotted with his wife at a Liberal house of Jewish worship in St. John’s Wood, not far away from Abbey Road Studio, where the Fab Four recorded many of their songs.

Paul McCartney, like fellow rock legend Elton John, has been unapologetic about performing in Israel despite pressure to cancel shows in the Jewish State by BDS extremists.
McCartney said it is “highly likely” that he will return to Tel Aviv’s Hayarkon Park after a hugely successful show in 2008.

In 2022, Sean Ono Lennon, son of Beatles founder John Lennon and acclaimed artist Yoko Ono, posted on X clear statistics from the FBI showing the extent to which Jews are disproportionately targeted by hate crimes in the U.S.

He condemned rapper Kayne West’s antisemitism and said his hatred was “hurting the world.”

Lennon wrote, “A surprising number of people don’t even know that more hate crimes are committed against Jews than any other minority group. Racism in all forms is abhorrent and must be condemned. I don’t know if Ye truly understands how dangerous and evil his words were.”
