Motion to reconsider laid on the table Agreed to without objection.

House urges leaders to fight antisemitism and educate the public, while working to keep Jewish Americans safe.

This bill would have the House ask elected leaders, faith leaders, and community leaders to speak out against antisemitism. It would also urge government leaders to teach the public about Jewish American achievements. The House itself would take steps to keep Jewish Americans safe.

What Would Change

Today, "Jewish American Heritage Month" recognizes Jewish contributions, but antisemitism has risen sharply since October 2023, with many Jewish Americans feeling less safe. If passed, this bill would have the House of Representatives formally call on various leaders to condemn antisemitism and educate the public about Jewish American contributions. The House itself would also work to ensure the safety and dignity of American Jews.
