This resolution commemorates the 123rd birthday of Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, the revered Lubavitcher Rebbe, a prominent Jewish spiritual leader who made significant global contributions to Jewish education and outreach. The resolution highlights Rabbi Schneerson's extensive achievements, including establishing over 6,000 Chabad Houses and Lubavitch Centers across 102 countries, promoting educational and cultural activities that enriched people's lives worldwide. It recognizes his leadership in spreading Jewish values and his commitment to humanitarian causes, noting the Chabad Lubavitch movement's presence in every U.S. state and its world headquarters in New York since 1940. The resolution specifically designates April 9, 2025, through August 9, 2025, as "123 Days of Education" in honor of the Rebbe's visionary educational leadership, and calls for pausing legislative deliberations to commemorate his birthday and legacy. Additionally, the resolution calls for a copy of the resolution to be transmitted to Rabbi Shmuel M. Butman, Director of the Lubavitch Youth Organization, symbolizing the continued impact of Rabbi Schneerson's work.
