Father and son honored by Israel Bonds
Steven B. Cohen of Essex Fells and his father, Jerry L. Cohen of New York City, were among the honorees at the Israel Bonds international leadership conference at the Israeli embassy in Washington, DC.
Steven Cohen’s son Micah Cohen is Israel Bonds’ national director for new leadership.
Jerry and Steven Cohen are longstanding advocates for Israel and the Development Corporation for Israel/Israel Bonds.
Jerry Cohen has been honored by Israel Bonds real estate & allied industries division and is a longstanding New York Real Estate division member for both Israel Bonds and UJA. He has been associated with Tishman Speyer properties for more than 20 years. He is a partner of the New York Yankees and a past partner and president of the New Jersey Nets. He was chair of the Circle Repertory Theater and is a member of the Manhattan Theater Club’s board council. He and his wife, Adrianne, have helped grow the Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor, and have been active investors in more than 50 theater shows on and off Broadway and in Miami.
With more than 35 years of real estate experience as a broker, developer, and advisor, Steven Cohen is principal and managing partner of Makom Real Estate Services and Israel Bonds’ vice chair of the Real Estate Division. He also devotes his time to several other charitable causes, serving on the executive board of the real estate division of UJA-Federation of New York and the board of trustees of the Israel Cancer Research Fund.
“It means a great deal to me, as my love of Zionism came from my parents and my father is also being honored tonight,” Steven Cohen said. “And my wife and I have transmitted this love of Zionism to our four children, who are here as well and are involved in several other Jewish causes. My son Micah actually works for Israel Bonds as well. To have three generations here is extremely meaningful.”
The program also was in celebration of Israel’s upcoming 75th birthday.
