SRES 246 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution recognizing the significance of Jewish American Heritage Month and calling on elected officials and civil society leaders to counter antisemitism.

This resolution recognizes May as Jewish American Heritage Month to celebrate Jewish Americans' contributions to U.S. society, culture, and history. It calls on elected officials, civil society leaders, and educational institutions to condemn antisemitism, educate the public about Jewish heritage, and ensure the safety of Jewish communities. The resolution cites rising antisemitic incidents - documented by the ADL as a 344% increase over five years - and emphasizes countering hate through awareness and inclusion. It does not create new laws but urges proactive measures to protect Jewish Americans, particularly following the post-October 7, 2023, surge in antisemitism.
