Councilman Kozachik says in his recent newsletter that this forum at Temple Emanuel is “related to mental health and how we are addressing that topic both legislatively and from a service provider standpoint.Every week we see demonstrable evidence of the need to make mental health advocacy a significant part of the gun death conversation”.

I find it ironic that Rabbi Sam Cohon is hosting this Community Forum on violence and mental health considering the fact that he has been arrested and jailed for Domestic Violence. Yes, he physically assaulted his current wife back in 2007, got arrested by Pima County Sheriff’s Department, and avoided prosecution by getting his current wife to not testify against him. His hypocrisy knows now boundaries.
