Career
The Cohen-Reiss Price at King David High School in Vancouver was named after him. When he was 15, Cohen-Reiss went to Europe from 1878–1887 and was trained in Germany (Bildungs-Anstalt für jüdische Lehrer, Hanover) and England. He returned to Jerusalem, where he was commissioned to restructure the school system in Palestine.
Cohen-Reiss" vision was to create a more advanced curriculum with science and arts with everything taught in Hebrew.
In the next 25 years, 27 schools had been founded under his plan (including Israel"s first co-ed program), and by 1912 the language of Palestine was Hebrew.
