I’m amazed that so many of our younger generation don’t know Reb Avrohom Hacohen. He has done more than 35,000 Bris Milahs, probably more than anyone else in the field.

He is known internationally as a war hero, having fought the Nazi SS troops in nthe mountains of Slovakia as “The Youngest Partisan” at 16 years of age (the name of the Artscroll book on his WWII exploits).

He has trained more than 80 mohels, who are members of his organization.

Look, he not be a famous “magid,” but, in the the world of Bris Milah, he’s number one in both professionalism and ehrlichkeit.

Calling someone “most famous” anything is unwarranted unless there is some factual basis for the statement. If someone has taken a poll of famous mohels, that should be reported whenever someone is called “most famous mohel.” Otherwise, the “most famous” characterization is inappropriate if not inaccurate.

Most famous mohalim bring to mind, Rav Pesach Krohn, Rav Weisburg (father ztl & son shlita), Rav Sasson,(father ztl & son shlita), Rav Bronstein ztl who brissed over 30,000 people with more than 6,000 behind the iron curtain & was tortured for that by the Russians, Rav Pirutinsky ztl. I have never heard of the distinguished mohel mentioned in the article.

How is he the world’s most famous mohel. I’d say Paysach Krohn is.
