Yeshiva University

We are deeply heartbroken and saddened to share the devastating news of the untimely passing of our beloved, longtime Assistant Director of Admissions,
Rav Jonathan Cohen
הרב יהונתן איתן בן מרדכי זאב הכהן זצ״ל

As a cornerstone of our Israel admissions team, Jonathan (“JoCo”) dedicated his life to helping thousands of students realize their dreams of a YU education. He approached his work not just as a profession, but as a calling, always guided by a deep warmth and an unwavering commitment to each student’s personal journey.

May his legacy of love and dedication be a source of nechama to his family, his students, and all of Klal Yisrael.
