Jewish American

Celebrated every May, Jewish American Heritage Month brings together hundreds of organizations and Americans of all backgrounds to discover, explore, and celebrate the vibrant and varied American Jewish experience and to honor the generations of Jewish Americans whose contributions have helped form the fabric of American history, culture and society.

On April 20, 2006, President George W. Bush proclaimed for the first time that May would be Jewish American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the American Jewish experience as well as the contributions they have made, and continue to make, to our nation’s history, culture, and society.
