Revolutionary Optimism with Dr. Paul Zeitz
A New Chime In Podcast Episode
Hello Beautiful Being of Light,
I hope this note finds you well and soaring with the eagles, continually viewing life through a lens of curiosity and wonder.
Today, I released a new episode of Chime In, where I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Paul Zeitz. Dr. Paul is a preventive medical physician, epidemiologist, rabbi, and author of the newly released book, Revolutionary Optimism: 7 Steps for Living as a Love-Centered Activist.
In our conversation, we discuss:
His work in global public health, particularly his efforts to address the HIV epidemic in Sub-Saharan Africa.
His books, Waging Justice and Revolutionary Optimism, which focus on personal growth, collective liberation, and creating a more peaceful world.
His recent trip to Israel and Palestine, where he engaged with Palestinians and Israelis, advocating for peace and human rights.
The concept of caste systems as structures of oppression, and how they operate in different contexts, particularly in Israel-Palestine and the United States.
Zionism and its influence on our governments.
The need for self-healing and awareness to challenge and transform these systems.
The importance of imagining and envisioning a better world.
The need to update outdated systems like the Constitution.
The role of love in creating change.
The interconnectedness of various social justice movements and the necessity of collective action.
Dr. Paul is an inspiration, and his teachings are both timely and poignant as we navigate this broken and divided world.
We hope you enjoy our conversation.
Wishing you a beautiful weekend ahead.
May you continue to fly with the eagles…
With ❤️ and gratitude,
Amanda
