Devora Caytak
Ottawa, Ontario
For more than 30 years, Devora Caytak has tirelessly supported Ottawa's Jewish population, as well as the broader community. She runs two successful charities: the Friendship Circle of Ottawa assists families of children with special needs, while the Jewish Youth Library of Ottawa offers books, classes, educational entertainment and lectures to both Jewish and non-Jewish residents. Her commitment to bridge-building between communities has been a key factor in her volunteerism.
