DESCRIPTION:About Jewish American Heritage Month (Source) May is Jewish Ame
	rican Heritage Month – On April 20\, 2006\, President George W. Bush pro
	claimed that May would be Jewish American Heritage Month. The announcement
	 was the crowning achievement in an effort by the Jewish Museum of Florida
	 and South Florida Jewish community leaders that resulted in resolutions i
	ntroduced by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida and Sen. Arlen Spect
	er of Pennsylvania urging the president to proclaim a month that would rec
	ognize the more than 350-year history of Jewish contributions to American 
	culture. The resolutions passed unanimously\, first in the House of Repres
	entatives in December 2005 and later in the Senate in February 2006. The m
	onth of May was chosen due to the highly successful celebration of the 350
	th Anniversary of American Jewish History in May 2004\, which was organize
	d by the Commission for Commemorating 350 Years of American Jewish History
	. This coalition was composed of the Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the Amer
	ican Jewish Archives\, the American Jewish Historical Society\, the Librar
	y of Congress and the National Archives and Records Administration. This s
	ite presents only a sample of the digital and physical holdings related to
	 Jewish American heritage available from the Library of Congress and other
	 participating agencies. Leading the way in implementation of the annual c
	elebration is the Jewish American Heritage Month Coalition\, formed in Mar
	ch 2007 and convened by United Jewish Communities\, the Jacob Rader Marcus
	 Center of the American Jewish Archives and the American Jewish Historical
	 Society.
