Actor Jason Alexander will perform at the Negev gala in Winnipeg on June 4.

No doubt, he’ll have more to say than, "Yada, yada, yada."

The Jewish National Fund of Canada, Manitoba/Saskatchewan Region, announced Friday that Jason Alexander — best known to TV fans as Seinfeld sidekick George Costanza — will headline this year’s Negev Gala honouring the Arab Jewish Dialogue.

The gala takes place Tuesday, June 4 at the Centennial Concert Hall. Tickets range from $50 (student/child) to $280, and are available from the JNF office (204-947-0207).

In addition to his nine-season stint on Seinfeld (1989-98), which earned him six supporting-actor Emmy nominations, Alexander has appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows and is a Tony Award-winning Broadway stage performer. He is also the spokesman for One Voice, a grassroots organization of Israelis and Palestinians committed to a peaceful, two-state solution in the Middle East.
