Mor Cohen

An athlete within Israel's lacrosse community, Mor Cohen tragically lost his life during the terrorist ambush at the Nova music festival on October 7.

Cohen, a native-born Israeli, played a pivotal role in establishing the lacrosse team in Tel Aviv and promoting coexistence through the sport. The Israel Lacrosse Association described him as "a remarkable young man" who left a lasting impact on everyone he encountered. Coach David Dennenberg recalled Cohen's, “infectious smile on the field and his pioneering spirit within the Israeli lacrosse community. Cohen's life was unjustly cut short by senseless violence, leaving his family and teammates devastated.”

In 2016, Cohen represented Israel's U19 national lacrosse team, and he also competed for South Jersey in the 2014 Maccabiah Games. Both USA Lacrosse and the Premier Lacrosse League expressed their support for Israel during this challenging time, mentioning Cohen by name and offering condolences to the Israel Lacrosse community.
