Israel and Judaism
Baron Cohen first acted with the youth movement Habonim Dror.[10]
He spent a year in Israel at Kibbutz Rosh HaNikra as part of the Habonim Dror Shnat program before going to university.[3]
According to Cohen, "I wouldn't say that I am a religious Jew, but I'm still proud to be Jewish."[11]. However, he keeps kosher and generally observes the Jewish Sabbath, refusing to answer the phone on Shabbat. [4][5][6]
As a jest, while playing the anti-Semitic character Borat, Baron Cohen frequently speaks in Hebrew. He also sings the lyrics from an old Hebrew folk song in the Borat film, and identifies his country's greatest scientist, whom he says discovered that a woman's brain is the same size as that of a squirrel, as "Dr. Yarmulke".
Family
Baron Cohen was born in Hammersmith, London, England[1] to an Orthodox Jewish family.[2] "Baron" is not a title of nobility, but the first part of his compound surname, an Anglicization of Baruch. He is the youngest of three sons of parents Gerald Baron Cohen and Daniella Weiser. His father, originally from Wales,[3] owns a menswear shop in Piccadilly. His paternal grandfather was born in Pontypridd. His mother, who teaches a school of movement, was born in Israel.[4] His maternal grandmother, who now lives in Haifa, Israel,[5] was an acclaimed ballet dancer from Germany.[6][7][8] His brother Erran Baron Cohen, a composer and trumpet player with Middle Eastern influences and a founding member of the British electronica world-music group Zöhar, lent his talents to the Borat film.
Baron Cohen is the second cousin of University of Cambridge Professor of Developmental Psychopathology Simon Baron-Cohen[9]
