This month, let's shine a light on the importance of mental health. It’s a time to remind ourselves and others that it’s okay to not be okay, and to seek help when needed. Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being, and caring for it should be a priority.-
Educate Yourself and Others: Share resources and facts about mental health. Knowledge can break down stigma!
-
Listen and Offer Support: Sometimes, a simple conversation can make a big difference. Be there for someone who needs to talk.
-
Prioritize Your Mental Health: Take time for yourself. Whether it’s a walk in the park, reading a book, or practicing meditation, do what makes you feel at peace.
Honoring Contributions and Building Connections
As we step into May, North Central Jersey Association of Realtors (NCJAR) proudly recognizes and celebrates Jewish-American Heritage Month. This month is a time to honor the profound contributions of Jewish-Americans to the fabric of our national history, culture, and society. At NCJAR, we acknowledge the unique contributions that Jewish-Americans have made to the real estate industry and our local communities across North Central New Jersey.
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.
Jewish-American Contributions to Real Estate
May marks the celebration of National Asian American and South Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, a time when we honor the rich history and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. At NCJAR, we recognize the significant impact that the AAPI community has had on our local real estate market and the broader community.
The AAPI community encompasses a diverse range of cultures, languages, and histories, representing more than 50 ethnic groups and speaking over 100 languages. Their stories are woven deeply into the fabric of American history and have played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's cultural and economic landscapes. From the building of the transcontinental railroad to advances in technology and entrepreneurship, AAPI individuals have contributed greatly to America’s development.
