Celebrate Jewish American Heritage Month!

Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM) is a national month of recognition and celebration held each May by Presidential proclamation, a tradition that began in May 2006. It’s a time for sharing the true, diverse, joyful, and powerful stories of American Jewish life across nearly four centuries.

Check out these events from organizations around Greater Raleigh. If your favorite local organization or business has a display in honor of JAHM, thank them for celebrating the contributions of Jewish Americans!
