Life for a Jewish Catholic in Israel

This week Simone Rizkallah and James O’Reilly are joined by Yarden Zelivensky to discuss his journey to Catholicism and his life as a Jewish and Hebrew speaking Catholic in Israel. Yarden is a husband and father of three. A Jewish convert to the Catholic faith (via Jehovah’s Witnesses), Yarden is working with the Association of Hebrew Catholics in Israel to preserve the identity and heritage of Catholics of Jewish origin within the Church and to enable them to serve the Lord and all people within the mystery of their irrevocable calling. Beyond Rome is available on Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and a variety of other media platforms! ⬆️ LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE ⬆️ _______________________ Timestamps: 00:00-16:06 — Introduction | Catholic & Jewish: Where Do I belong? 16:06-22:14 — What Westerners should know about the conflict in Israel and antisemitism 22:14-35:10 — Evangelizing the Jews and Catholic Zionism 35:10-42:51 — From Agnostic to Jehovah’s Witness to Catholic 42:52-46:49 — Jewish-Catholic Relations 46:49-52:26 — Hebrew Catholic Pilgrimage and Bible Translation _______________________ If you enjoyed this interview, please consider giving to the work of Coalition of Catholics Against Antisemitism: https://catholicsagainstantisemitism.org _____________________________________________ Follow Coalition of Catholics Against Antisemitism: ➡️ Website: https://catholicsagainstantisemitism.org ➡️ Instagram:   / catholicsagainstantisemitism   ➡️ X: https://x.com/philoscatholic _______________________ Resources: ➡️ Sign up for Yarden’s Hebrew Catholic Holy Week pilgrimage in the Holy Land here.
