Calling on elected officials and civil society leaders to counter antisemitism and educate the public on the contributions of the Jewish American community.

This resolution highlights the historical recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month, which celebrates the significant contributions of Jewish people to the culture and history of the United States. It notes that despite this recognition, antisemitism has reached record highs since October 7, 2023, with incidents targeting Jews and a majority of Jewish Americans reporting feeling less safe and experiencing antisemitism online or on college campuses.

To counter this alarming trend, the resolution emphasizes that education and awareness of Jewish-American contributions are crucial, citing numerous Jewish inventors who have positively impacted everyday life, such as Irving Naxon (slow cooker) and Hedy Lamarr (wireless communication concepts). Therefore, the House of Representatives calls on elected officials, faith leaders, and civil society leaders to condemn and counter all acts of antisemitism. It further urges the executive branch and State and local leaders to educate the public on the Jewish-American community's contributions and uplift Jewish stories and voices. Finally, it commits to taking all possible steps to ensure the safety, security, and dignity of American Jews in their workplaces, campuses, synagogues, and homes.
