                Proclamation 10368 of April 11, 2022

                
Education and Sharing Day, USA, 2022

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                As we work together to build a better America, we must 
                remember that education is the key to achieving greater 
                opportunity, prosperity, stability, and equality both 
                here and around the world. A high-quality education 
                develops the mind, opens the heart, nurtures our 
                talents, and fortifies our character. Through 
                education, we learn to recognize ourselves in our 
                neighbors and cherish the dignity of our shared human 
                experience. No one understood this better than the man 
                whose life and legacy we celebrate on this day: Rabbi 
                Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe and 
                leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.

                The Rebbe's devotion to educating people worldwide and 
                his profound respect for diversity, inclusiveness, and 
                equal justice have set a strong example for generations 
                of Americans and people across the globe. Having 
                survived one of history's cruelest chapters, the Rebbe 
                emerged determined to help heal the soul of humanity. 
                He left his mark as a thinker, leader, and teacher who 
                recognized the limitless potential of every human being 
                regardless of their background. His outreach is still 
                felt today in countless houses of worship, centers of 
                education, cultural exchanges, and service communities 
                worldwide.

                The Rebbe's work reminds us, in the words of the 
                Prophet Amos, to ``hate evil, love good, and establish 
                justice in the gate.'' We each share a responsibility 
                to live up to those words--in and out of the 
                classroom--and to plant the seeds of love, kindness, 
                and empathy in the hearts and minds of every child in 
                America.

                To ensure that our children are provided every 
                opportunity to learn and grow, my Administration 
                provided resources through the American Rescue Plan for 
                schools to safely reopen for in-person instruction. 
                Today, thanks to our COVID-19 strategy and the 
                resilience of local communities, more than 99 percent 
                of America's schools are open again. But if we are 
                truly going to build a better America, we must continue 
                to make transformational investments in education--
                including making high-quality pre-school available to 
                every 3- and 4-year old in America and coming together 
                to address the invisible toll on children's mental 
                health that was exacerbated by the pandemic.

                Today--on what would have been the Rebbe's 120th 
                birthday--let us celebrate all the educators, 
                advocates, and pioneers who teach young people the 
                lessons that create caring neighbors and closer 
                communities. Let us commit to learning together, 
                sharing the best we have to offer, and working in unity 
                for the common good.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of 
                the United States of America, by virtue of the 
                authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws 
                of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 12, 
                2022, as Education and Sharing Day, USA. I call upon 
                all government officials, educators, volunteers, and 
                all the people of the United States to observe this day 
                with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this

                thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the 
                United States of America the two hundred and forty-
                sixth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
