Boaz Rosenzweig is a Canadian from Toronto who attended the Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto synagogue. A March 2025 issue of the synagogue’s magazine lists Rosenzweig as one of a few “BAYT expats” who are “now serving in the IDF” that the synagogue is “proud” of. The magazine adds, “Their dedication and courage inspire us all—Am Yisrael Chai!”
An earlier issue of the synagogue’s magazine states that Rosenzweig’s parents are Zevi and Aura Rosenzweig. Zevi, a lawyer in Toronto, has an Instagram account dedicated to Israel, where he states, “My mission is to explore every inch of this country.” In March 2025, Zevi posted a video of Boaz getting sworn into the Israeli military, writing: “I cannot describe the emotions coursing through my body as I watch my son being sworn into the IDF: pride, pride and more pride, love, hope, delight, euphoria, glee, optimism, honour. I know the grandparents, the shoah survivors are beaming.”
