Rabbi Mikhael Cohen, a Shliach who dedicated his life to bringing French-speaking Jews of all ages closer to Yiddishkeit, passed away on Friday, 9 Nissan 5780. He was 58. Born in Paris and a student at the Yeshiva Tomchei Tmimim in Brunoy, France, he was bursting with energy, Chassidic love and determination to help other people. Living in Crown Heights, 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. Regularly organizing visits to 770 Eastern Parkway and the Rebbe‘s Ohel, he implored young men and women to deepen their connection with Yiddishkeit and readily offered blessings to supporters during dinners and Torah dedications. “He was a special Yid with a good heart,” said the singer Yoni Schlomo. “There isn’t a French person who was by the Rebbe in the past 30 years that wasn’t hosted by him.”Schlomo compared Cohen’s home to that of Avraham Avinu. “There were tables and tables… Everyone who traveled there knew that on Shabbos, we eat by Mikhael Cohen. He was like the Rubashkin of the French.” He is survived by his wife Mrs. Esther Cohen, and children Simcha Cohen, Chaya Zaetz, Miriam Borrocos, Sarah Bortunk, Yael Cohen, Rivkah Cohen, Menachem Cohen and Moshe Cohen.Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
