Simone Rizkallah: A Cultural Gypsy with Armenian-Egyptian Roots
Simone Rizkallah is a Catholic speaker and writer who helps people discover a deeper and more meaningful existence. As a first-generation American of Egyptian-Armenian descent, she calls herself a “cultural gypsy”—Western born and educated, yet raised in an Eastern cultural and ethnic context.This unique background gives her a powerful perspective on the search for belonging and identity. Through her writing and speaking, Simone guides others toward becoming more rooted: in their faith, their heritage, their personal story, and their greater calling.You can learn more about her work at culturalgypsy.com.

To Confront Antisemitism, Catholics Can Look to Their History - Simone Rizkallah (15 May, 2024)
The Jew-hatred on display at some campus protests corresponds little with attitudes toward Jews in America. How should Catholic leaders and institutions respond to this moment, beyond carefully worded statements that neither offend nor teach? One instructive precedent, perhaps surprisingly, is the medieval papal bull Sicut Judaeis, which condemned antisemitic violence and even authorized excommunication for certain offenses. We talk more about it with Simone Rizkallah.
