[Elected Official] Celebrates Jewish American Heritage Month
[Date, Place] - [Name of Elected Official] is honored to join the nation in celebrating Jewish American Heritage Month this May.
“Every May, we commemorate Jewish American Heritage Month to celebrate and honor the contributions of Jewish Americans in our history. Imbued with a legacy and collective memory of violent persecution across the globe, Jews have long found hope in America’s promise of freedom, justice, opportunity, and religious liberty. The heritage, culture, and contributions of the Jewish community adds to the diverse tapestry of American society” said [Name of Elected Official].
The first American Jews arrived in 1654 when a group of 23 men, women, and children fled Brazil due to persecution. For 370 years, Jewish Americans have been loyal and patriotic citizens, contributing to our nation in countless ways. American Jews have served in government and the military, won Nobel prizes, headed universities and corporations, advanced medical and healthcare, created and performed enduring works of art, written great American novels, become emblems of justice as members of the Supreme Court, and more.
May was first proclaimed Jewish American Heritage Month in April 2006 by President George W. Bush. “As we honor the legacies and achievements of generations of Jews in America, we also must dedicate ourselves to learning about ongoing struggles with antisemitism in our society, and commit to mitigating this pernicious hate,” said [Name of Elected Official].
