A RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE
APRIL 29, 2024, AS END JEW-HATRED DAY
WHEREAS, For millennia, the Jewish people have sustained their
shared religious, cultural, and ethnic identity and traditions in the face of
enslavement, persecution, genocide, segregation and discrimination; and
WHEREAS, The Jewish community has continued to be subjected to
antisemitism and Jew-hatred, including discrimination in the workplace,
on school campuses, and in public spaces; and
WHEREAS, Hate crimes directed against the Jewish community
have skyrocketed in recent years, inspiring and empowering Jewish
people to discover and embrace their heritage, without fear of attack or
persecution; and
WHEREAS, We all share an obligation to condemn and combat Jew-
hatred in all of its forms; and
WHEREAS, We recognize the urgent need to stand against Jew‑hatred
so that the intergenerational trauma of the past shall never be repeated;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That the members of this legislative
body recognize April 29, 2024, as End Jew-Hatred Day; and be it further
RESOLVED, That we set aside political differences, unite with
singular purpose to condemn Jew-hatred in all of its forms, and stand
resolute to end the discrimination and persecution of the Jewish people.
Adopted by the Senate, April 30, 2024.
Secretary of the Senate
