Gal Gadot, Golda Meir and Albert Einstein featured in the second appearance of “Jewish Heaven” in The Simpsons last week.

The Fox animation, which is now in its 30th season, sees Bart having a near-death experience, where he claims to have seen Jesus.

Israeli actor Gal Gadot, the star of Wonder Woman, plays herself. She is one of the Jews seen at the show’s so-called Jewish Heaven. Explaining her presence in heaven to Bart, despite being alive, Gadot cheerily says, “They like me so much I get to visit.”

She is surrounded by late Jews in this episode, including Joan Rivers, King David, Rabbi Hyman Krustofsky (Krusty the Clown’s deceased father), former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir, Albert Einstein and legendary Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, all standing around chatting at the Jewish equivalent of the Gates of Heaven.
