Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S3108-3109; text: CR S3120)
This Senate resolution formally recognizes May as Jewish American Heritage Month and calls for action against rising antisemitism in the United States. The resolution celebrates the more than 350-year history of Jewish contributions to American society, noting that the Jewish-American community now numbers over 6 million people who have served in all areas of public life including government, military, science, arts, and business. The legislation highlights alarming statistics showing that antisemitic incidents reached record highs following the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks, with the Anti-Defamation League recording over 9,300 incidents in 2024 alone—a 344 percent increase over the previous five years. The resolution calls on elected officials, faith leaders, and civil society to actively condemn antisemitism and educate the public about Jewish-American contributions while taking steps to ensure the safety and security of Jewish Americans in workplaces, schools, synagogues, and communities. As a non-binding resolution, it requires no funding and serves as an official statement of Senate priorities rather than creating new programs or mandates.
