Bill Text
WHEREAS, A quality education is one of the significant foundations for the continuing success of our state, our country, and our society at large, and in the great State of California, we strive for the betterment of all of our citizens through an increased focus on education and sharing; and
WHEREAS, Through providing the possibility of an excellent education for all, especially children, to gain knowledge through rigorous study, we can create hope for a brighter, kinder, and more united and prosperous future in the lives of so many; and
WHEREAS, One of the leading global advocates for the advancement of education, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory, stressed the importance of moral and ethical education as the bedrock of humanity and the hallmark of a healthy society, and strongly urged that education be reinforced by the inculcation of strong moral values; 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 birthdate 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, U.S.A.”; and
WHEREAS, We presently battle a global pandemic which has disrupted traditional models of education across our nation, while concurrently motivating a focus on the stronger core values we wish to impart to children and adults, beyond academic achievement; and
WHEREAS, We can nurture the unity of diverse peoples by encouraging increased acts of goodness and kindness, imbued with awareness that even a single positive act of an individual can make a major impact in this world; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, That the Assembly proclaims Sunday, April 2, 2023, 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.
