SENATE RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, Education is essential to putting children on the path to good jobs and a decent living; in order to remain competitive into the 21st century, the State of Illinois will need to equip the children of the next generation with the education and skills demanded by a modern economy; and

WHEREAS, Learning is a lifelong practice, not confined solely to the classroom; in every action, whether at work, play, or rest, it is the task of parents, teachers, and mentors to make sure children grow up practicing values such as independence, honesty, discipline, compassion, drive, and courage, while being ever mindful that it will always be a continuous process towards a more perfect union, and that much remains to be done to fulfill the concept of equality for all; and

WHEREAS, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, worked to teach generations of young men and women the value of education and strong character; his work deepened the ties between people around the world and his legacy inspires the service, charity, and goodwill he championed in life; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-NINTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that April 19, 2016 be recognized as Education and Sharing Day in the State of Illinois; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to the Lubavitch-Chabad movement as a symbol of our respect and esteem.
