          SUBJECT  :   Chabad Day.

           SUMMARY  :   Proclaims March 23 as Chabad Day in California.   
          Specifically,  this resolution  makes the following legislative  
          findings:   

          1)The Jewish social organization that is named Chabad was  
            established in this state in 1965, as a branch of the  
            worldwide Chabad-Lubavitch movement under the leadership of  
            the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson.

          2)Since Chabad has been established in California, it has  
            created a large network of educational and social services on  
            the West Coast; and the state and its residents have  
            continually commended community-based organizations, such as  
            Chabad, that have tried to achieve the goal of "making this  
            world a place of goodness and kindness".
