A kohen (also spelled cohen or kohan) is a descendant of the sons of Aaron who served as priests in the Temple in Jerusalem. Traditionally, kohanim (the plural of kohen) get special honors in synagogue, but also are subject to certain restrictions.

From the tribe of Levi, Aaron and his descendents were singled out to be the priests and serve in the Temple (see Exodus 28). Originally, God intended that the first-born of every Jewish family would be a Kohen, the priest who would serve as that family's representative to the Holy Temple ( Exodus 13:2 , Exodus 24:5 ).
In Hebrew a Kohen (plural Kohanim) is a priest, leader, or ruler. In Judaism, Kohanim are the priestly clan, who are honored with certain tasks, responsibilities and privileges. Read:Raise Your Hand if You Are a Kohen.
