Recognizing May 2026, as Jewish American Heritage Month in the State of New York
This bill is a Senate resolution that officially designates May 2026 as Jewish American Heritage Month throughout New York State. It aims to honor the historical contributions of Jewish Americans to the state's culture, civil rights, and economy while acknowledging the ongoing challenges of antisemitism.
