Jewish American Heritage Month is observed every May to honor the rich traditions of the Jewish community. Since Judaism is an ethnoreligion this is a time to celebrate all aspects of Jewish culture , through the exploration of art, music, food, and more. It’s also important to acknowledge that there are many with their own unique practices. While the contributions, accomplishments, and culture of the community should be acknowledged and celebrated all everyday, this month provides a time to renew your focus on learning more about the Jewish community. We’ve compiled a list of ways to help get you started celebrating this Jewish American Heritage Month.

Most importantly keep learning and reflecting and remember that the challenges Jewish communities face are ongoing, not just history. Incorporate challenging antisemitism into everyday action, not just during Jewish American Heritage Month.
