2025 Jewish American Heritage Month

Blue text reads, “Jewish American Heritage Month.” The background is a pale blue and a single blue bird flies to the right of the text.

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.
