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.
