Lenore Cohen, a longtime Temple Emanuel teacher, director of education and Jewish community leader whose deep commitment to Jewish learning helped shape generations of students in the Washington area, died June 13. She was also active in Hadassah, Sisterhood, chavurah groups and Jewish education circles across the Washington region. Rabbi Warren Stone, rabbi emeritus of Temple Emanuel, said Cohen and her husband, Dr. George Cohen, were part of the congregation’s active core. Lenore Cohen enjoyed working with adolescents, Dan Cohen said, and knew how to get them to react and think. Cohen, she said, explained why schools needed both American and Israeli teachers, why teachers should be paid fairly and why strong Jewish education was essential to Jewish continuity.
