Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month (AAPI Heritage Month) is an annual celebration that recognizes the historical contributions, cultural traditions, ancestry, native languages, and unique experiences represented among more than 56 ethnic groups (speaking over 100 languages) of Asian and Pacific Islander descent in the United States. The AAPI umbrella term includes cultures from the entire Asian continent — including East, Southeast and South Asia (including, but not limited to, the Indian subcontinent, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam) and the Pacific Islands (including Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, Melanesia, Micronesia and Polynesia).
Jewish American Heritage Month
Jewish American Heritage Month, also known as JAHM, is a month-long celebration in the United States that takes place every May to honor and recognize the significant contributions of Jewish Americans to American history, culture, and society.
Jewish American Heritage Month was established in 2006 by President George W. Bush to recognize the ‘crucial role that Jewish Americans have played in shaping the history of the United States. May coincides with two significant events in Jewish American history: the arrival of the first Jewish immigrants to America in 1654 and the celebration of the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, commemorating the Torah’s giving to the Jewish people.
Jewish American Heritage Month is an opportunity to celebrate the diversity of American Jewish culture. Jewish Americans come from many different backgrounds and traditions, and JAHM celebrates this diversity by highlighting the contributions of Jewish Americans from a wide range of cultural and religious backgrounds.
