Michael Kohn

Michael Kohn is a rabbi and a prominent figure within the Jewish community in Norway, currently serving as the rabbi for the Mosaiske Trossamfund, the Jewish congregation in Oslo. He has been vocal about the challenges faced by Jews in Norway, particularly in relation to rising antisemitism and the community's hesitance to participate in public events due to safety concerns. Recently, he expressed that many members of his congregation felt unsafe attending commemorative events such as the one marking Kristallnacht, reflecting broader issues of insecurity within minority groups in the country.
