Eden Rachel Cohen

Senior Advisor, Office of the Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism and the Delegitimization of Israel

Pittsburgh native Eden Rachel Cohen has risen to the forefront of the international battle against antisemitism during the course of 2022. The former entertainment lawyer has been working alongside the Israeli government’s special envoy for countering antisemitism, Noa Tishby, after the pair met through Cohen’s digital newsletter, “A Wider Frame,” which provides news and insight on Jewish communities and Israel. “We’re advancing Israel’s foreign policy as it relates to antisemitism,” she said in an interview earlier this year. She went on to point out that antisemitism manifests principally on social media and can take various forms, from far-right to progressive left. Cohen’s future plans include the launch of a media project in 2023 aimed at educating young teens to understand today’s manifestations of antisemitism in the worlds of culture and entertainment.
