Two Nice Jewish Boys: Episode 139 – The Neo-Nazi Who Converted to Judaism

Today we’re joined on the podcast by Yonatan Langer. But Yonatan’s name wasn’t always Yonatan. It used to be Lutz. And Lutz used to be an ardent Neo Nazi.

Today Yonatan is an observant, orthodox Jew who lives in Israel and studies Kaballah, the Jewish Mystical school of thought.

We’re really excited to have Yonatan on 2NJB today to tell his story.
