May is Jewish American Heritage Month!
Jewish American Heritage Month was established in 2006 by the proclamation of President George W. Bush, and has continued every year by Presidential Proclamation. The goal is to honor and celebrate the achievements and contributions of Jewish people to American society, culture, and history.
