May is Jewish Heritage Month

| May 3, 2012

President Barack Obama celebrated the shared struggle of Jewish identity in proclaiming Jewish Heritage Month for the month of May. In the proclamation issued May 1, the president discussed the perseverance of Jewish Americans in overcoming adversity and hostility to reach success in America. Even here, Jewish Americans bore the pains of hardship and hostility; yet, through every obstacle, generations carried with them the deep conviction that a better future was within their reach, Obama said.
