JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

May 12, 2022 by urjtbs • Culture

Jewish American Month is an annual recognition and celebration of American Jews’ achievements and contributions to the United States of America during the month of May. President George W. Bush first proclaimed the month on April 20, 2006, as a result of cooperation with Senator Arlan Spector (R-PA), as well as the Jewish Museam of Florida and the South Florida Jewish Community. Since then, annual proc;amations have been made by Presidents Bush, Obama, Trump, and Biden.

In 2020, the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia repositioned Jewish American Heritage Month to empower communities across the country to celebrate the inspiring history of Jewish people in America; educate diverse public audiences about Jewish culture; and spark crucial conversations about the American Jewish present and future.

President Bush wanted to proclaim a month that recohnize the more than 350-year history of Jewish contributions to American culture. On February 14, 2006, Congress issued House Concurrent Resolution 315 which stated:

“Resolved…that Congress urges the President to issue each year a proclamation calling on State and local governments and the people of the United States to observe an American Jewish History Month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities.”

JAHM enables the exploration of the meaning of religious pluralism, cultural diversity, and particpation in American civic culture.

A similar month exists in Florida as Florida Jewish History Month but it occurs in January.

I remember when Sandy Koufax refused to pitch on Yom Kippur.

Shaping the Future

Israel Peace and Security

While there are many days that hold great meaning for me, December 28, 2015 stands out. On that day, I arrived at the Interior Ministry in Jerusalem, signed several forms, and left gripping my blue teudat zehut (identity card). I was officially a citizen of the State of Israel.

Some label Rosh HaShanah and the period between the New Year and Yom Kippur as "Judgment Days," a time during which the trajectory of our lives for the coming year is reached.

Two very different Jewish films have emerged on the 2023 late summer film scene. One depicts the trials and tribulations of a 75-year-old legislator during the greatest crisis of her life, the other portrays a 12-year-old girl on the cusp of adulthood.
