The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Assembly Joint Resolution 41, which proclaims May 2025 and May 2026 as Jewish American Heritage Months. This resolution recognizes the significant contributions of Jewish Americans to the civic, social, economic, and cultural fabric of the United States, highlighting a history that spans over 370 years. It acknowledges the resilience of Jewish Americans, particularly those who fled persecution during the Holocaust, and their ongoing commitment to civil rights and education against bigotry and anti-Semitism. The resolution also notes the presence of a vibrant Jewish community in Wisconsin, with over 33,000 individuals and more than 30 active synagogues.

Furthermore, the resolution honors the legacy of notable Jewish Americans who have lived in Wisconsin, such as authors, politicians, and entertainers, and emphasizes the Jewish principle of tikkun olam, which calls for the pursuit of justice and righteousness. By proclaiming these months, the Wisconsin Legislature aims to celebrate the Jewish American experience and reinforce the values of liberty, opportunity, and perseverance that transcend prejudice and hate.
