Congressman Lawler Marks the Lubavitcher Rebbe's Birthday as Education and Sharing Day

by M.C. Millman

Congressman Mike Lawler issued a proclamation in honor of six Chabads to mark the Lubavitcher Rebbe's birthday, 11 Nissan, celebrated as Education and Sharing Day.

Since the 1980s, every U.S. president has marked the occasion annually, and many public officials and municipalities have followed suit in honoring the life and legacy of the Lubavitcher Rebbe.

The proclamations were awarded to three Rockland Chabad centers and three Westchester Chabad centers, including - Chabad of Rockland, Suffern, The Nyacks, Bedford, Yorktown, Briarcliff and Ossining.

The congressman spoke on the house floor about the annual Education and Sharing Day this morning as well. 

"Take a moment to reflect on what you can do for Education in general and Jewish Education in particular," Chabad of Nyack posted on social media in response to Lawler's proclamation. "Thank you, Congressman Mike Lawler, for your leadership."
