With sadness we report the passing of beloved Chossid Rabbi Shimon HaKohen Friedman, OBM, at the age of 78. Rabbi Friedman was affectionately called “Shimon HaTzaddik” – a title widely believed to be given to him by the Rebbe.

Rabbi Friedman was a grandson of the Alter Rebbe through his mother, who was a great-granddaughter of Rebbetzin Menucha Rochel Slonim. He never left Eretz Yisroel, thus fulfilling a personal directive of the Rebbe.

He is survived by his sons – R’ Menachem Mendel Friedman, Shliach in Ohr Yehuda, Israel; and R’ Mordechai Yoel Friedman – and daughters.
