Jewish American Heritage Month is an annual celebration of Jewish American achievements and contributions to the United States of America. The month is observed annually in the U.S. during the month of May and became recognized nationally in 2006. At San Diego Public Library, we support our Jewish community members and we celebrate this month with programs for all ages and book lists.
