“I thank the gentleman from New York, Ranking Member Nadler, for yielding and for his leadership. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as a proud cosponsor of H. Res. 382, an important bipartisan resolution condemning the rise of anti-Semitism and highlighting the importance of Jewish-American heritage. I start by recognizing my friend, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the author of this resolution, for her leadership in making Jewish American Heritage Month a reality and in leading so many efforts to stand up for the Jewish community and speak out against anti- Semitism. I am proud to join her and Representatives Brian Fitzpatrick and David Kustoff, Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and many others, as an original cosponsor of this legislation. {time} 1730 Mr. Speaker, this month is Jewish American Heritage Month, a time to recognize and celebrate American Jews and their many important contributions to our society. For centuries, since the first arrival of Jews in 1654, Jewish Americans have enriched communities in every part of our country, forming an indelible part of our national fabric. Jews have contributed to every facet of American life, from science and medicine to education, business, technology, music, theater, art, sports, philanthropy, the labor movement, the fight for civil rights, and the pursuit of justice. The history of the Jews, time and time again, has been about resilience and achievement in the face of adversity.…”
