Trump Issues 2026 Education and Sharing Day Message Honoring Chabad Leader Schneerson
On March 28, 2026, the White House issued its 2026 Education and Sharing Day message honoring Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. The message said American education has stood for 250 years as a pillar of liberty, opportunity and civic virtue, and reaffirmed the importance of a rigorous education that equips the next generation to lead with character and integrity.
The message recalled that Schneerson escaped Nazi persecution and fled to the United States in 1941, where he assumed leadership of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement and, after the Holocaust, reinvigorated Judaism worldwide, a force that continues to touch millions of people across the globe. It described him as one of the most influential Jewish leaders in modern American history.
The message also set out the administration's education agenda, including returning educational control to states, local communities and parents and eradicating anti-Semitism, and pledged to carry forward Schneerson's legacy of intellectual achievement, righteousness and faith. Education and Sharing Day is an annual U.S. observance centered on Schneerson's life and contributions.
