'''Rebbetzin Brachah Cohen''' was the fifth daughter of the [[Mitteler Rebbe]].

== Life ==
Rebbetzin Brachah was born between 1794 and 1798 (5554–5558)<ref>Rebbetzin [[Devorah Leah (daughter of the Mitteler Rebbe)|Devorah Leah]], who was born before Rebbetzin Brachah, was born after the passing of [[Devorah Leah (daughter of the Alter Rebbe)]] in 1793 (5553) — she was named after her. Rebbetzin [[Menuchah Rochel Slonim|Menuchah Rochel]], who was born after Rebbetzin Brachah, was born at the beginning of 1799 (5559). It therefore follows that Rebbetzin Brachah was born between 5554 and 5558 (1794–1798).</ref> to her father the Mitteler Rebbe and her mother [[Rebbetzin Sheina]].

On 14 Shevat 5568 (February 1808), she married the Chassid Rabbi Yonah HaKohen of [[Zhytomyr]].<ref>An examination of the Zhytomyr census records of 1811, 1816, and 1834 reveals the existence of a Rabbi Yonah, son of Rabbi Shmuel Zanvil (son of Yosef and Pesya, daughter of Yaakov) and Hinde, daughter of Rabbi Yonah. He was born in 1802 (5562) and married a Beila, daughter of Rabbi Dovber, born in 1804 (5564). Their children were Yaakov and Hinde. Based on the name of his son Boruch-Shmuel-Zanvil, it may be surmised that this is the same individual — and if so, he was married to Beila, a sister of Brachah. His marriage to Beila would have taken place in 1822 (5582), the year in which a daughter of the Mitteler Rebbe — whose name had until recently been unknown — was indeed married. See ''Kovetz He'oros U'Biurim'', vol. 896.</ref>

At the wedding and during the Sheva Brachos — the seven festive meals celebrated in the week following a Jewish wedding — the [[Alter Rebbe]] ([[Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi]]) delivered numerous maamarim (formal Chassidic discourses).<ref>See ''Maamarei Admur HaZaken'' 5568.</ref>

Throughout her life, Rebbetzin Brachah resided in the town of [[Lubavitch]].

== Family ==

* Her son, '''Boruch Shmuel Zanvil Cohen''', passed away on 6 Elul 5646 (1886).<ref>[https://col.org.il/news/62114 Lubavitch: The gravestone of a grandson of the Mitteler Rebbe discovered (COL)]</ref> His daughter, Marat Sheina, passed away on 24 Shevat 5631 (1871).<ref>See Chabad.info, 24 Shevat 5776.</ref>
* Her son, '''Dovber Cohen''', appears in the Zhytomyr registry of 1850 (5610).
