Up to Zion: A Jew Converts to the Catholic Faith, & God's Plan for the Jews (Gideon Lazar) | Ep. 37

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITION OF CHRISTENDOM

In this episode, we interview Jewish convert Gideon Lazar about his conversion to the Catholic Faith, and discuss (among other things) modern Zionism and the role of the Jewish people (hopefully the first of many such discussions).

Gideon Lazar received a BA in Classics and Medieval/Byzantine Studies from the Catholic University of America. Having grown up in a Jewish family, he was baptized in 2018 and received into the Catholic Church in 2019. He is currently an MA Theology student and the institute coordinator for the St. Basil Institute for the Study of the Theology of Creation. He writes about theology on his Substack and creates YouTube videos on his channel "The Byzantine Scotist." He lives near Seattle with his wife and kids.
