CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

Recognizing and honoring America's Jewish community on the occasion of
its 350th anniversary, supporting the designation of an ``American
Jewish History Month'', and for other purposes.

Whereas in 1654, Jewish refugees from Brazil arrived on North American shores
and formally established North America's first Jewish community in New
Amsterdam, now New York City;
Whereas America welcomed Jews among the millions of immigrants that streamed
through our Nation's history;
Whereas the waves of Jewish immigrants arriving in America helped shape our
Nation;
Whereas the American Jewish community has been intimately involved in our
Nation's civic, social, economic, and cultural life;
Whereas the American Jewish community has sought to actualize the broad
principles of liberty and justice that are enshrined in the Constitution
of the United States;
Whereas the American Jewish community is an equal participant in the religious
life of our Nation;
Whereas American Jews have fought valiantly for the United States in every one
of our Nation's military struggles, from the American Revolution to
Operation Enduring Freedom;
Whereas not less than 16 American Jews have received the Medal of Honor;
Whereas 2004 marks the 350th anniversary of the American Jewish community;
Whereas the Library of Congress, the National Archives and Records
Administration, the American Jewish Historical Society, and the Jacob
Rader Marcus Center of the American Jewish Archives have formed ``The
Commission for Commemorating 350 Years of American Jewish History''
(referred to in this resolution as the ``Commission'') to mark this
historic milestone;
Whereas the Commission will use the combined resources of its participants to
promote the celebration of the Jewish experience in the United States
throughout 2004; and
Whereas the Commission is designating September 2004 as ``American Jewish
History Month'': Now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring),
That Congress--
(1) recognizes the 350th anniversary of the American Jewish
community;
(2) supports the designation of an ``American Jewish
History Month''; and
(3) urges all Americans to share in this commemoration so
as to have a greater appreciation of the role the American
Jewish community has had in helping to defend and further the
liberties and freedom of all Americans.

Passed the Senate July 31 (legislative day, July 21), 2003.

EMILY J. REYNOLDS,

Secretary.
