Jewish American Heritage Month
Our Jewish American Heritage Month program captures the Jewish American journey through an exploration of Jewish identity and antisemitism (‘oys’) while illuminating the eclectic stories of Jews who have enriched American society and culture (‘joys’).
The Jewish American story is one of milestones and breakthroughs in spite of arbitrary glass ceilings, exclusion, quotas, and even violence. The stories we spotlight are Jewish stories, but they are also quintessentially American stories—woven into the fabric of this country’s history and steady progress.
