Version 1, General Version without Seven Noahide Laws
WHEREAS, education, the cornerstone of a strong and free society, determines what we know and shapes who we are. In that light, education is more than the mere transmission of facts and figures; rather, it must prepare children for a life of responsibility and purpose, forming and strengthening their moral character; and
WHEREAS, a global spiritual leader and leading advocate for the advancement of education, the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, stressed that a moral and ethical education empowers every individual to realize their full potential and make the world a better place. 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, March 29, 2026, will mark 124 years since the Rebbe’s birth. From childhood, he envisioned a world of peace and tranquility for all and advanced the sacred responsibilities and ethical values that have formed the bedrock of society since the dawn of civilization. To honor the Creator, respect life, reject violence, act honestly, value family, promote generosity, and build a just and moral society; and
WHEREAS, "Education & Sharing Day" 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 our youth have the foundation necessary to lead lives rich in purpose and fulfillment through service and good works;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, [Name of Official], [Position i.e Mayor/Governor] of [City/State], do hereby proclaim Sunday, March 29, 2026, to be: EDUCATION AND SHARING DAY, in the [City/State] of [Name of City/State] and call upon government officials, educators, volunteers, and citizens to reach out to those within your communities and work to create a better, brighter, and more hopeful future for all.
IN WITNESS, WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the [City/State] of [Name of City/State] to be affixed at the [Location i.e. Town Hall] this twenty-ninth day of March in the year two thousand and twenty-six.
