A resolution recognizing the significance of Jewish American Heritage Month and calling on elected officials and civil society leaders to counter antisemitism.

The resolution formally recognizes the significance of Jewish American Heritage Month , celebrating the extensive and diverse contributions of Jewish Americans to the society and culture of the United States. It highlights a history spanning over 350 years, from early colonial times to the present, acknowledging their roles in government, science, arts, philanthropy, and military service. Presidents have consistently proclaimed this month since 2006, encouraging all Americans to learn about Jewish heritage and its impact. Despite these contributions, the resolution expresses deep concern over the record-high levels of antisemitism in the United States, particularly following the October 7, 2023, attacks. It cites alarming statistics on antisemitic incidents, including violent attacks and online harassment, and notes that many Jewish institutions lack adequate security resources. Consequently, the resolution calls upon elected officials, faith leaders, and civil society leaders to unequivocally condemn and actively counter all acts of antisemitism. Furthermore, the resolution urges leaders at all levels to educate the public about the Jewish-American community's contributions and to uplift Jewish stories and voices. It commits to taking all possible steps to ensure the safety, security, and dignity of American Jews in all aspects of their lives, including on college campuses and in places of worship. Finally, it honors the bravery of Jewish-American servicemembers and reaffirms a commitment to protecting religious freedom for all Americans.
