Recognizing the significance of Jewish American Heritage Month as a time to celebrate the contributions of Jewish Americans to the society and culture of the United States.
What changed between versions
The title and primary purpose changed from recognizing the significance of Jewish American Heritage Month to condemning the rise of antisemitism and calling on elected officials to educate the public on Jewish American contributions.
A Whereas clause about antisemitic language on social media platforms, including tropes about Jewish control and messages praising Adolf Hitler, was removed from the engrossed version.
The operative section was restructured: item (1) is now a call to condemn antisemitism (previously item 3), item (2) is a new directive to take all possible steps to ensure safety and security of Jewish American communities, and item (3) is a call on the Executive Branch and civic leaders to educate the public on Jewish American contributions.
A new Whereas clause was added that states 'we recognize the significance of Jewish American Heritage Month as a time to celebrate the contributions of Jewish Americans,' effectively moving the old title language into the preamble.
The date changed from May 9, 2023 (introduced) to May 31, 2023 (engrossed).
