Aharon Katz is addressed in correspondence from the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, as a supporter and participant in educational initiatives, specifically related to Jewish education in North Africa. The Rebbe acknowledges his involvement and expresses appreciation for his contributions to these efforts.
The Rebbe's letter to Aharon Katz, dated 19 Tammuz 5711 (1951), is both personal and encouraging. The Rebbe thanks him for his participation in the work of chinuch (Jewish education) in North Africa, noting that the contribution was received through Katz's brother, Yaakov HaKohen. The Rebbe attaches special significance to the timing of Katz's support, as it arrived on Yud-Gimmel Tammuz, the anniversary of the liberation of the Previous Rebbe from Soviet imprisonment. This day, the Rebbe explains, serves as a source of encouragement and inspiration for those engaged in the sacred work of strengthening Torah, Judaism, and Jewish education with self-sacrifice.
The Rebbe emphasizes that on this auspicious day, the Previous Rebbe offers prayers for all who follow his path, asking that G-d grant them and their families health and success, enabling them to participate more fully in this holy mission. The tone of the letter is warm and appreciative, and the Rebbe concludes with blessings for continued success and good news for Katz and his family.
