The resolution proposes to change the observance of Jewish Heritage Month in New Jersey from April to May, aligning it with the national recognition established by President George W. Bush in 2006. The amendment to the existing law will officially designate May as "Jewish American Heritage Month" in the state, acknowledging the significant contributions and achievements of Jewish Americans to both New Jersey and the nation.

This change aims to ensure consistency with the national observance and to honor the diverse impact of Jewish Americans throughout history. The resolution will take effect immediately upon passage, reflecting a commitment to recognizing and celebrating the heritage and contributions of the Jewish community.
