arranger, recording artist, published author and editor, a university and seminary professor, philanthropist, and held leadership roles both locally and nationally.
served as a visiting rabbi and teacher at several Southern Arizona congregations throughout many visits over the years.
still very much active, regularly assisting in leading services and reading the Torah nearly every Shabbat and festival.
in memory of his own parents, which provides a large annual gift to those whose work benefits the Jewish community as a whole.
can with his four children, seven grandchildren, and five great- grandchildren.
I thank Rabbi Baruch J. Cohon for his decades of service in so many different capacities. I wish him a very happy 100th birthday.
