Politics and Black Families with Rafielle featuring Dr. Z
He's a retired urological surgeon who dedicated his career to relieving pain and suffering, always driven by a deep mission to make the world a better place, one patient at a time. Since graduating from medical school in 1983, Dr. Zisholtz, or 'Dr. Z' as he's known, has been a pillar of the medical community, practicing mostly in Riverdale and East Point, Georgia.
But Dr. Z’s story doesn’t stop there. Guided by the Hebrew concept of *Tikun Olam*, which means ‘repairing the world,’ he has been tirelessly active in community institutions since moving to Georgia in 1988. He’s volunteered on the boards of schools and synagogues, always working to make his community stronger, safer, and better for everyone.
After 34 years of marriage, Dr. Z lost his first wife, Vivian, to breast cancer. Together, they raised four children, and Vivian’s legacy of compassion and activism runs deep, as she herself was the daughter of a military chaplain who was involved in the Civil Rights Movement.
Four years ago, Dr. Z found love again and remarried Mindy, a wonderful woman from Houston who shares the same passion for doing good. Their shared histories—rooted in family teachings of lending a helping hand and remembering the struggles of their ancestors who escaped Europe—drive their commitment to making the world a better place.
Dr. Z is now focused on giving back to his state and his country. It’s an honor to have someone with such a rich legacy of service and community leadership here with us today. Please welcome Dr. Zisholtz!"
