Shimon Baruch Ohayon is addressed in the Rebbe's correspondence as a dedicated shochet u-vodek (ritual slaughterer and inspector) and an active communal leader involved with Lubavitch institutions in Morocco.
The Rebbe's letter to Shimon Baruch Ohayon, dated 27 Tishrei 5715 (1954), expresses appreciation for his ongoing communal work and conveys warm blessings for the new year. The Rebbe highlights the concept of areivut (mutual responsibility) among the Jewish people, explaining its deeper meanings: responsibility, pleasantness, and interconnectedness. He encourages Rabbi Ohayon to continue strengthening his public service, particularly in supporting the holy institutions of Oholei Yosef Yitzchak Lubavitch in Morocco. The Rebbe emphasizes that such efforts make one a channel and vessel for the blessings of the Almighty.
