The resolution acknowledges the long history of Jewish Americans, dating back over 350 years to the colonial era, and recognizes their significant contributions to various aspects of American culture and history, including education, science, business, philanthropy, politics, civil rights, and the arts. It notes the role of Jews in supporting American independence, the waves of Jewish immigration in response to persecution and economic hardship, and the tragic impact of restrictive immigration policies during the 1920s, which contributed to the United States' refusal to accept refugees from Nazi Germany.

The resolution declares May of 2023 as "Jewish American Heritage Month" in the State of Rhode Island, encouraging Rhode Islanders to commemorate and celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of Jewish Americans. It emphasizes the importance of understanding and valuing the history, heritage, and culture of Jewish Americans, especially in light of the resurgence of anti-Semitism. The resolution directs the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to Mr. Jeffrey M. Wice, Executive Director of the National Association of Jewish Legislators.
