Biography

Kohn was born in Jerusalem to Avrohom Yitzchok Kohn. His mother was the daughter of Aharon Roth.[ citation needed ]

As a child, his family moved to Monsey, New York. He married Hinda Kohn, the daughter of Naftali Tzvi Labin, the current Rebbe of the Ziditshover dynasty, after a brief encounter in London. [3]

Rabbi Dovid Kohn succeeded his father as the Rebbe of the Toldos Aharon Hasidic dynasty after his father's death in 1996; [4] his rabbinic court and primary leadership are in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood, the historical center of the dynasty. The community retains strict internal norms and a high degree of separation from secular Israeli society, which they view as illegitimate.[ citation needed ]
