William Cohen is recognized among Jewish contributors to Philosophy & Social Sciences — US Secretary of Defense (1997-2001), Senator for Maine
William Cohen, U.S. Secretary of Defense (1997–2001) and Senator for Maine, had a Jewish father (a baker) and a Protestant mother of Irish descent — so his ancestry was partly Jewish. Because his mother was not Jewish, he was not recognized as Jewish by the Orthodox community and did not formally practice Judaism as an adult.
