THE MYSTERIOUS CASE OF THE COHENS
By Linda Maria Frank
Everything is relative. And some of us are finding out that we have more relatives in our lives than we thought. In this article, I would like to point out that everything is relatives. Take, for instance, the story of the Cohens, or Kohanim as they are known in the Jewish faith.
