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 values.

Recognizes the Rebbe's teachings that education should encompass moral and ethical development beyond career preparation, including the Seven Noahide Laws as fundamental human rights.

Notes the Rebbe received the Congressional Gold Medal and that the U.S. President has proclaimed his birthday as "Education and Sharing Day, USA" annually since 1978.

Emphasizes the importance of instilling service, courage, and compassion in youth to strengthen character and create a more optimistic future.
