Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM) is an annual recognition and celebration of Jewish American achievements in and contributions to the United States of America. Efforts are underway to encourage the annual observation of JAHM in the U.S. during the month of May. This is the achievement of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) and Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), as well as the Jewish Museum of Florida and the South Florida Jewish Community. A similar month exists in Florida as Florida Jewish History Month but it occurs in January.
