Bush Praises "The" Rebbe

JTA: President Bush praised the late Lubavitcher rebbe for promoting education and ethical teachings. The praise Thursday was included in a proclamation making April 9, 2006 Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A. Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who passed away in 1994, “sought to improve lives and communities through a vast network of education and outreach centers and social service programs around the world,” Bush wrote in the proclamation. “We continue to be inspired by the Rebbe’s good works and all those who dedicate their time, talents, and energy to helping our next generation grow into caring, responsible adults.”
