Mayor Steven Meiner, the Mayor of Miami Beach and a former senior SEC attorney. Meiner is an observant Jew who identifies deeply with the Orthodox community and traditional values. Meiner maintains a warm and close relationship with the Chabad Shluchim in Miami, regularly participating in Chassidic events and working to promote the Rebbe's educational legacy. For him, signing the Education Day proclamation is not merely a formal protocol, but a personal expression of his long-standing commitment to the values of "spreading the wellsprings" (Hafatzat HaMayanot) and Jewish education within the city.
