LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
HR 29, as introduced, Gabriel.
WHEREAS, The basis for the continuity of any society is education, and in the great State of California the education of our youth is a priority; and
WHEREAS, In order to achieve its highest goals, education must not only impart knowledge but also teach pupils and students how to live, forming and strengthening their moral character to make a better life for themselves as individuals and for society as a whole; and
WHEREAS, A global spiritual leader, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, stressed that a moral and ethical education empowers every individual to develop their full potential in making the world a better place; and
WHEREAS, Such an education can nurture the unity of diverse peoples through encouraging increased acts of goodness and kindness, imbued with the awareness that even a single positive act of an individual can change the world and usher in an era of global peace; and
WHEREAS, “Education and Sharing Day, USA” is observed each year on the Rebbe’s birthday in recognition of his outstanding and lasting contributions toward the improvement of education, morality, and acts of charity around the world; a day to pause and reflect on our responsibility to ensure that our youth have the foundation necessary to lead lives rich in purpose and fulfillment through service and good works; and
WHEREAS, April 9, 2025, will mark 123 years since the Rebbe’s birth, and this year marks the 76th anniversary of his leadership of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement; and
WHEREAS, “Chabad” is an acronym of three Hebrew words for “wisdom, understanding, and knowledge”; and
WHEREAS, The name “Lubavitch” comes from the city which served as the movement’s headquarters for over a century and means city of love; and
WHEREAS, In recognition of the Rebbe’s outstanding and lasting contributions toward improvements in world education, morality, and acts of charity, he was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, and the United States Congress has established his birth date as a national day to raise awareness and strengthen the education of our children; and
WHEREAS, For more than 40 years, the President of the United States has recognized and honored the Rebbe’s vision each year on that day by proclaiming it “Education and Sharing Day, USA”; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the Assembly proclaims Wednesday, April 9, 2025, as “Education and Sharing Day, California” and calls upon government officials, educators, volunteers, and citizens to reach out to those within their communities and work to create a better, brighter, and more hopeful future for all; and be it further
Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
