Latter Day Jew: My Unorthodox Path From Mormonism to Judaism

The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott - A podcast by Newsweek

I was raised Mormon, got some cancer, and then converted to Judaism. Why? Well, it’s complicated and it’s the basis for the documentary film ‘Latter Day Jew,’ available soon on video on demand on a number of platforms. Today I’m sharing my story, because it’s a weird one, but it’s also how I became H. Alan Scott. I’ll be joined by writer, comedian and my best friend, Eliot Glazer (‘Broad City’), who was with me during the entire process.   Watch the trailer for ‘Latter Day Jew’: https://youtu.be/mPMfcxMTqtc  Watch Eliot’s Comedy Central digital series ‘2 Jews Choose’: https://youtu.be/liBfG_wzuU0  Visit Newsweek.com to learn more about the podcasts we offer and to catch up on the latest news.
