"Since the time the United States was but a coalition of villages and settlements, America’s Jewish citizens have played an indispensable role in our national story.  They arrived as farmers, soldiers, tailors, and merchants, settling quickly and contributing greatly to the fields of law, art, science, and medicine.  At crucial moments, Jewish Americans have joined their fellow citizens in working towards America’s unique vision of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." The White House's Jewish American Heritage Month proclamation.
