Historical Insights
Jewish-American Heritage Month was officially proclaimed in April 2006, following resolutions passed by the House and Senate. This recognition came about due to the advocacy of the Jewish Museum of Florida and other prominent national organizations. The month of May was chosen to mark significant anniversaries of contributions by Jewish-Americans and to celebrate the achievements of individuals from this community in various fields.
