Overview
Join us as we celebrate 20 years of Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM)!
That’s right! It’s been 2 decades since President George W. Bush announced that May 2006 would be considered Jewish American Heritage Month. A month dedicated to celebrating the peoplehood, history, and contributions of Jewish Americans – from the perseverance shown in the face of initial hardships upon arrival to their lasting impact on everything from medicine to civil rights. Explore why heritage months foster belonging and historical accuracy. Our Jewish American history content serves as a master toolkit for discussing any complex identity. To wrap up, you receive seven “JAHM-sized” mini-lessons designed for seamless integration into your May classroom schedule.
