Book Description
“I’m not Jewish.” For years, that’s what David Weill told anyone who asked about his religious background. Yes, his father was a Jew who had left Nazi Germany as a boy. But his mother was a Southern Baptist. Growing up in New Orleans, religion wasn’t something his family discussed, let alone practiced. As an adult, he developed a fervent zeal and profound devotion to his work as a specialist in organ transplants. Transplantation was all he needed to define and fulfill him—until a crisis shook him to the core.
In TELL ME I BELONG: A Journey Across Faiths and Generations (Union Square & Co.; December 9, 2025), David Weill shares his awakenings—first to religion and then to his roots. With honesty and depth of emotion, Weill recounts his long and winding search for meaning and connection, and the unexpected discoveries and revelations along the way.
