Designates April 16, 2019 as Illinois Education and Sharing Day in the State of Illinois.

Honors Rabbi Menachem Schneerson (the Rebbe) for his lifetime dedication to education, character development, and moral and ethical values.

Recognizes the Rebbe's emphasis on education that extends beyond career preparation to include universal moral values and the Seven Noahide Laws as foundations of human rights.

References the Congressional Gold Medal awarded to the Rebbe and the federal "Education and Sharing Day, USA" proclamation issued annually by U.S. Presidents since 1978 on his birthday.

Affirms the importance of strengthening educational systems by fostering youth character development, service to others, and values such as courage and compassion.
