graduated college. Einhorn said the rela-
tionships he has, such as with Cohen, have
kept him at Har Zion.

“She’s served as a grandmother to my
children and a mother to me,” Einhorn
said. “She’s incredible. She’s the Energizer
Bunny of Har Zion.”
In 1989, Irving Cohen became ill and
died. West Chester still holds an annual
concert in his memory.

“We had a wonderful marriage,” Sara
Cohen said. “Unfortunately, it wasn’t long
enough.” In 2003, Cohen retired. She started
working at Harcum and Rosemont col-
leges, where she taught the Holocaust and
women in the Old Testament.

Health issues put her on pause for a
while, and when she recovered, she taught
at Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El and Adath
Israel. She also decided to return to teach-
ing at Har Zion.

Sometimes, she finds herself teaching
the same students she knew as children,
and she sees them coming to Har Zion
with their own children.

“My greatest pleasure today is going to
Har Zion as a congregant, having retired
from there, and seeing former graduates
from our school … come back with their
children who are active with their youth
groups and their Hebrew schools today,”
Cohen said. “[I’m] sort of the grand-
mother of all of them. It’s a good feeling.” l
