Rena Cohen (May 31, 1940 – Jan. 1, 2023) was a leading activist in the Soviet Jewry movement in Canada, and a Canadian journalist. From 1978 to 1983, Cohen was one of four “key leaders” in the Calgary campaign to compel the U.S.S.R. to comply with the Helsinki Accords, a human rights document it had endorsed but was said to violate. After moving to Toronto, Cohen continued her advocacy with Genya Intrator, “a key player in the Canadian Soviet Jewry movement.” As a journalist, Cohen’s writings were mainly focussed on Soviet Jewry. She was “deeply involved” with the development of The Jewish Star, Calgary’s first independent Jewish newspaper.
