Chaim Yochanan Cohen came to israel in 1991 from rhode island as a "sherut la'am" volunteer. The 10-month volunteer program eventually kept Chaim in israel for 10 years, as he found regular employment in journalism afterward and made aliyah in 1994. A resident of the religious community of Kochav Ya'akov, located north of Jerusalem, Chaim worked as a content editor
for two hi-tech companies, and now writes on a free-lance basis. He is married to a Dutch olah, and the couple are proud parents of a young "sabra".
