Works

Cohen authors his books for those fluent primarily in English. His works on the laws of Shabbat cover their topics in depth and include extensive footnoting and sourcing in Hebrew on the bottom of each page and are "clear, easy to use and authoritative":
Because his texts make it easy for those with a limited grasp of Hebrew vocabulary, they appear on numerous "must-read" lists for converts and ba'alei teshuva.
