Sarah Rivkah Kohn

Founder

Sarah Rivkah Kohn was nine years old when she lost her mother in 1993. In 2006, she started a magazine for teenage girls who had lost a parent, providing them with a platform to connect with other girls in the same situation as well as mentors and role models who had "been there" themselves. The success of the magazine led to more programming, eventually becoming Links, a forum for girls to bond with and learn from others who share their experience. Links, a project of Mishkan Yecheskel, supports children and teens who have lost one or both parents by connecting them with peers and mentors who have been through the same experience. (Photo: YouTube screenshot)
