Title 3— 

The President 

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.
