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!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
