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 and religious freedom, the immigration waves in the mid-1800s and early 1900s, and the impact of restrictive immigration policies in the 1920s. The resolution also highlights the importance of understanding and valuing Jewish heritage, especially in light of the resurgence of anti-Semitism.

The resolution declares May of 2024 as "Jewish American Heritage Month" in the State of Rhode Island, encouraging Rhode Islanders to commemorate and celebrate the contributions of Jewish Americans. It instructs 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, thereby formalizing the recognition of the month dedicated to Jewish American heritage.
