Rabbi Cohen founded and directed CCF New York, a Chabad center for French speakers which organized an array of activities and classes for locals and visitors alike. He would regularly hold Jewish events at the French Embassy or Consulate in New York.

He was the NY liason for the Yeshiva in Brunoy, helping parents and bochurim with tickets and visa procurement, facilitating what could often be a cumbersome experience. Just a few weeks ago, while the airports we’re closing and flights cancelling, Rabbi Cohen and his wife worked hard into the night to help arrange flights for bochurim to get home.

He is survived be his wife Esther, and children; Simcha Cohen, Mrs. Chaya Zaetz, Mrs.Miriam Borrocos, Mrs. Sarah Bortunk, Yael Cohen, Rivkah Cohen, Menachem Cohen, and Moshe Cohen.

Feel free to share your memories of the niftar.

  1. Il était avec son épouse et leurs enfants un grand homme plein de générosité, bonheur, joie et sympathie.
    Il nous manquera à tous ceux qui ont eu la chance de le connaître.
    Baroukh Dayan Aemeth

  2. Baroukh Dayan Aemeth. Un homme d’une telle générosité qui m’a aidé après la mort de mon seul frère Mikael. Et qui a fait les 30 jours pour mon frère Mikael. Jamais je n’oublierai. Il disait que Mikael est le chef la haut. Il a touché tellement de vies. Toutes mes condoléances à Esther et ses enfants dans ce moment si difficile.

    Qu’Hachem vous apporte consolation et apaisement
    J’ai eu la chance de connaître le Rav COHEN zal son épouse et leurs chers enfants lors d’un Chabbat en juillet 2016.
    L’accueil du Rav et de son épouse était chaleureux, bienveillant joyeux
    C’est un souvenir magnifique
    Que ses mérites protègent sa chère épouse ainsi que ses enfants
