PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, 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
WHEREAS, 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 WHEREAS, 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 WHEREAS, April 9, 2025, will mark 123 years since the Rebbe's birth, and this year celebrates 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 through service and good works.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Dr. Michael Cao, Mayor of Arcadia, California, do hereby proclaim Wednesday, April 9, 2025, as
EDUCATION AND SHARING DAY
in the City of Arcadia and call upon everyone to work together to create a better, brighter, and more promising future for all.
