A Toronto, Canada native, Jonah Winer felt inspired to pursue the rabbinate during his time as an undergraduate at McGill University. He is now an Orthodox rabbinical student at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah where he expects to graduate in 2022. His study of religion in university and his volunteer leadership roles at downtown Montreal’s student-led Ghetto Shul showed him the need for inclusive orthodox communities, and for religious leaders capable of building them. Jonah’s leadership of Mcgill’s Interfaith Student Council helped channel his passion for interfaith work and community organizing. Jonah now lives in Riverdale with his wife, Emily, a student at Yeshivat Maharat.
