We all respond differently to trauma. Some of us find comfort in food, some of us prefer to seclude ourselves, and then, there are some of us, like John Weisz, who resort to sport. 

As the son of Holocaust survivors, he was deeply affected by the atrocities committed in Israel on October 7; not only because of his Jewish identity but foremost, as a human being. He felt outraged at the murder, rape, mutilation, burning alive of over 1200 innocent men, women and children, sometimes entire families decimated; as well as at the kidnapping of 251 hostages, children and babies included. How can anyone fathom such horror and depravity, or the world’s reaction to the collective trauma Israel has endured since that gruesome day? Not only did the world capsize that day, but so was John Weisz’s existence upheaved.

Today, they are still........
