The Wisconsin Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 45, 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, as well as the historical significance of institutions like the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Hillel. It honors notable Jewish figures from Wisconsin and emphasizes the Jewish principle of tikkun olam, or "repair of the world," which calls for justice and righteousness for all. Ultimately, the resolution expresses gratitude to Jewish Americans for their role in shaping the character of the nation and promoting values of liberty, opportunity, and perseverance.
