May is Jewish American Heritage Month

05/01/14
WASHINGTON - This May marks the ninth anniversary of Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM), proclaimed by President George W. Bush in 2006 after the Congressional efforts of U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) and the late Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA). Rep. Wasserman Schultz issued the following statement:
 
“Jewish American Heritage Month is a special occasion to celebrate the myriad accomplishments and contributions of Jewish Americans to the United States’ enduring role as an economic, political, military, and cultural global leader. One of the ways we celebrate those achievements is by educating the broader American public about Jewish Americans who have woven part of the tapestry that is the unique American experience.
 
“There are so many ways to honor this year’s Jewish American Heritage Month theme of philanthropy and the continued pursuit of tikkun olam, or repairing the world, by looking to our past and present community leaders.
 
“From the innovative vaccination work of Jonas Salk to Haym Salomon’s support for the colonies in the American Revolution, from Bela Abzug’s trailblazing in Congress to the catalytic philanthropy of individuals such as Michael Bloomberg and David R. Rubenstein, so many Jewish Americans have dedicated their life’s work to making our country and our world a better place.  
 
“In ways large and small, Jewish Americans continue to make a substantial impact on people and communities all over this nation, on issues ranging from access to health care and immigration reform, to LGBT rights and quality education.
 
“I am proud to represent one of the largest Jewish populations in the United States, and to serve as the chief sponsor of JAHM in the U.S. Congress.”
