Kogan lived as an exemplary Jew. He was a valiant soldier in Israel’s Givati Brigade, a devoted and loving husband, a friend to all, and a Chabad emissary to the UAE.

Rabbi Zvi Kogan’s death, at the hands of those consumed by hatred, is a devastating loss not just for his family or the Chabad community, but for all who cherish faith, unity, and the sanctity of life.

This week, Chabad Rabbi Zvi Kogan, of blessed memory, who was serving the Jewish community in Abu Dhabi, UAE was ruthlessly murdered.
