Eytan Weisz
My name is Eytan Weisz and I am an Entrepreneurship Major at Ryerson University's Ted Rogers Business School. I also volunteer in the UJA's Community Protector Program to assist in the Toronto's Jewish community's safety and wellbeing.
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the first set of lockdowns came into effect which effectively closed Synagogues and other Jewish establishments, I along with others volunteered to patrol the community at various times of day and night to ensure these establishments were safe and secure, as they were vacant at the time. In addition I also protect my synagogue, Shomrei Shabbos Chèvre Mishnayos congregation with a number of other volunteers from the community. Throughout the course pandemic, I was able to recruit individuals from the community to enrol into the Protector Program.
