In May 2006, former President George W. Bush proclaimed the first Jewish American Heritage Month. Since then, May has been proclaimed as Jewish American Heritage Month in which Jewish contributions that have been made towards American culture, history, and more are recognized.
MC Library is proud to join in the celebration of the achievements and contributions of Jewish Americans throughout history. This guide is dedicated to Jewish American Heritage. Here, you will learn about Jewish American history, stories, and receive several book and video recommendations. You will also find helpful research databases and resources from MC, as well as local, and national sources, all dedicated to Jewish American Heritage.
