Gordon - Yochanan

גורדון - יוחנן

Yochanan Gordon (Shochet and Gabbai)

Yochanan Gordon is addressed in the correspondence as a dedicated shochet (ritual slaughterer) and gabbai (communal functionary), entrusted with the collection of the Maos Chitim (charity for Passover needs) fund. His communal roles and responsibilities were assigned to him by the previous Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn.

Correspondence with the Rebbe

The Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, expresses appreciation to Yochanan Gordon for his faithful execution of the Maos Chitim collection, a task entrusted to him by the Rebbe’s revered father-in-law. The Rebbe emphasizes a core chassidic teaching: when a tzaddik, especially a nasi (leader) in Israel, assigns a mission (shlichus), he also grants the emissary the necessary spiritual and, often, physical strength to fulfill it successfully. The Rebbe assures Gordon that his dedication to this communal service brings him additional blessings, both spiritually and materially.

The Rebbe extends heartfelt blessings to Gordon and his family, wishing them to celebrate Pesach in good health, with joy and in accordance with halachic standards. He prays for Gordon and his wife to experience abundant Jewish and chassidic nachas from their children, and encourages him to continue serving for many years in his sacred roles as shochet and gabbai, as appointed by the previous Rebbe.
