Jewish American Heritage Month

May is Jewish American Heritage Month, a great opportunity to celebrate the important contributions Jewish Americans have made to the United States since the first group of Jews arrived in New Amsterdam in 1654.

The United States has many heritage months that celebrate the various communities that form the mosaic of our country, including Black History Month, Women’s History Month, Hispanic Heritage Month, and more. By celebrating heritage months, we learn about one another, we honor the richness of our diverse nation, and we strengthen the fabric of American society.
