SJR 119 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Changes "Jewish Heritage Month" observed in April of each year to "Jewish American Heritage Month" to be observed in May of each year.

SJR 119 changes New Jersey's official designation from "Jewish Heritage Month" (observed in April) to "Jewish American Heritage Month" (to be observed in May each year). This aligns the state's observance with the national recognition established by President George W. Bush in 2006, which designates May as Jewish American Heritage Month. The bill amends existing law to update the month and name while maintaining the purpose of honoring Jewish Americans' contributions to New Jersey and the nation. No new programs or funding are created - this is solely a procedural adjustment to match the federal observance.
