TitV of Arrabia
MClAMVON
'WJ U", the basis for the continuity of any society is education; and in the great city of
Arcadia the education of our youth is a priority; and
*WI in order to achieve its highest goals, education must not only impart knowledge but
also teach the 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
WJ(�E4S, 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
%WERM, such an education can nurture the unity of diverse people 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
' &ETB 4, March 29, 2026, will mark 123 years since the Rebbe's birth, and this year begins
the celebrations of the 76th anniversary of his leadership of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.
"Chabad" is an acronym of three Hebrew words for `wisdom, understanding and knowledge."
The name "Lubavitch" comes from the city which served as the movement's headquarters for
over a century and means City Of Love. Of all the ethical values which inform our civilization,
none is more important than love - love of wisdom, love of our fellowman, and love of our
Creator. These values, rooted in the Seven Noahide Laws, have guided the Chabad-Lubavitch
movement throughout its history, and are the essence of education at its best, and we should be
certain to pass on this precious heritage to all young Americans; and
'[M3fE4 U, "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.
