Dov Niedzviecki is quoted in a 2018 feature article about lone soldiers in the Shaarei Shomayim synagogue in Toronto’s magazine speaking about joining the Israeli military: “Drafting was the most unique and transformative period of my life. I’ve made friends I’ll never lose, experienced traumas I’ll never forget, and created memories I’ll have with me forever. Growing up, joining the army and protecting the Jewish people was a feat I only vaguely imagined myself accomplishing. But having climbed that cliff and finished my service, I can honestly say it is the most rewarding feeling – to know that I gave myself to something so many people dreamed of for so long.”
