In First for Lauderhill, FL, Mayor Declares April 9th 2025 as Education and Sharing Day
Mayor Denise Grant of Lauderhill proudly signed a proclamation declaring the Rebbe’s birthday as Education and Sharing Day. This is the first time a Mayor in Lauderhill did so.
In preparation for the historic occasion, the Mayor instructed her staff to create a beautiful graphic with the Rebbe’s picture along with a quote, and had it displayed on all the City screens throughout the ceremony.
The Mayor then asked Rabbi Chaim Rosenstein, the Jewish Liaison of Lauderhill, to speak and read an excerpt of the letter that the Rebbe wrote to President Carter following the first Education Day USA in 1978.
City Manager Kennie Hobbs spoke about the positive impact that the Jewish community has on Lauderhill, followed by words of inspiration by: Rabbi Aron Lieberman, Rabbi Levi Chanowitz, Rabbi Daniel Shahino, Rabbi & Mrs. Yaniv Moryosef, Rabbi Shmuli Heidingsfeld, and Rabbi Elazar Gedj.
The Mayor gave a framed signed proclamation to each of the Rabbi’s.
Special thank you to Rabbi Chaim Rosenstein and Rabbi Shmuli Heidingsfeld for arranging this historic event.
