  HONORING THE LEGACY OF THE LUBAVITCHER REBBE, RABBI MENACHEM MENDEL 
                               SCHNEERSON

  (Mr. LAWLER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LAWLER. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize Education and 
Sharing Day where we honor the enduring legacy of the Lubavitcher 
Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. The Rebbe was not only a 
spiritual leader but also a beacon of hope and resilience.
  Escaping the horrors of Nazi Europe, he found refuge in our great 
Nation where he revitalized a community shattered by the Holocaust.
  Under his guidance, the Chabad-Lubavitch movement flourished, 
advocating for education and moral integrity as the cornerstones of a 
just society.
  Chabad's vision is clear: Education is a fundamental pillar in 
cultivating a compassionate society. The work of Chabad groups across 
the country, especially in Rockland and Westchester Counties in New 
York, is critical.
  In today's tumultuous times, Chabad's message is more relevant than 
ever. We face a resurgence of anti-Semitism here in the United States, 
which we see playing out daily on college campuses. In response, we 
must recommit ourselves to fighting for dignity, honesty, and justice 
for all.
  As we approach the 30th anniversary of the Rebbe's passing, let's 
never cease working to create a Nation that truly serves as a beacon of 
hope and freedom to the world.
