## Resource

In this deeply moving episode of Free Thinking with Montel, we welcome back Dr. David Weill, renowned pulmonologist, author, and storyteller. You may remember him from his previous appearance, where he shared insights from his memoir Exhale: Hope, Healing, and A Life in Transplant. Now, he returns to discuss his latest book, Tell Me I Belong: A Journey Across Faiths and Generations, releasing December 9th. Dr. Weill takes us on a profound journey of self-discovery, exploring his family’s escape from Nazi Germany, his upbringing in a home shaped by two contrasting faiths, and his personal quest to uncover his roots. From converting to Catholicism during a time of crisis to reconnecting with his Jewish heritage, David’s story is a testament to resilience, identity, and the power of understanding where we come from. Join Montel and Dr. Weill as they dive into the complexities of faith, family, and belonging, and uncover the lessons we can all learn from embracing our stories.
