After the
@YUNews hockey team’s 12-5 win over Syracuse, YU freshman Sol Feder noticed “Cohen” on an opposing jersey. “Are you Jewish?” he asked. Minutes later, 21-year-old Daniel Cohen was putting on tefillin and saying the Shema for the first time. Both teams erupted in cheers, celebrating his spontaneous bar mitzvah in a powerful display of Jewish pride and unity. Just weeks after Oct. 7, this uplifting moment spread across social media, inspiring thousands. “No hockey win compares to the privilege of helping Daniel put on tefillin,” Sol said.
