BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
top
Samuel Solomon Cohon was born in Lohi, Minsk, Russia on March 22, 1888 to Solomon Kazdan and Rachel Leah (Starobinets) Cohon. Cohon came to the United States in 1904, followed by his father, a shoemaker, in 1906.
Cohon's education consisted of attendance at yeshivas in Berezina and Minsk, Russia, the Barringer High School in Newark,
New Jersey, summer seminars at the University of Chicago, 1909-1911, and the University of Cincinnati, where he received a B.A. degree in 1911. In 1912 Cohon was ordained as a rabbi at Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati.
Following his ordination, Cohon entered the pulpit rabbinate serving first at Congregation Oheb Zedakiah in Springfield, Ohio from 1912-1913, then moving to Chicago, Illinois and the Zion Congregation where he served from 1913-1919. In 1919 Cohon directed the merger of Zion Congregation with Congregation B'nai Abraham to form the new Congregation B'nai Abraham-Zion. That same year he also assisted in the founding of Temple Beth Israel and organized Temple Mizpah on Chicago's north shore, where he served as rabbi from 1919-1923.
In 1923 the Hebrew Union College appointed him to its chair of theology. He remained in this position until 1956 when he was appointed Professor Emeritus. Cohon then agreed to transfer to Los Angeles, California and teach theology at the newly opened West Coast branch of the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion. Cohon remained in this position until his death in 1959.
Cohon was a prolific lecturer and author, speaking at universities and seminars across the United States and abroad, while authoring numerous articles, monographs and books. Some of his more important writings include: "The Theology of the Union Prayer Book" (1928), "The Place of Jesus in the Religious Life of His Day" (1929), Christianity and Judaism Compare Notes (with Dr. Harris Franklin Rall, 1928), What We Jews Believe (1931), and Judaism-A Way of Life (1948).
Cohon also edited the Revised Union Haggadah (1923) and the Rabbi's Manual (1928) under the auspices of the Central Conference of American Rabbis. He also, in 1937, formulated the "Guiding Principles of Reform Judaism" and served from 1940-1945 on the committee for the revision of the two volumes of the Union Prayer Book, and, in 1951, served on the committee for the revision of the Union Home Prayer Book.
On June 12, 1912 Cohon married A. Irma Reinhart in Portland, Oregon. They had one son, Baruch Joseph. Samuel S. Cohon died in Los Angeles, California on August 22, 1959.
