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.
