In honor of Jewish American Heritage Month (JAHM) this May, the Combat Antisemitism Movement is launching a national contest inviting Americans of all backgrounds to explore and celebrate the rich tapestry of Jewish life and contributions in the United States.
This contest is a unique opportunity to rediscover the pivotal role Jewish Americans have played in shaping the nation’s story — through acts of courage, innovation, leadership, and partnership with other communities.
CAM will award up to $50,000 in prizes, with winners recognized at the prestigious JAHM Congressional Reception in May in Washington, D.C.
For contest guidelines and to submit an entry, please visit: jahm.combatantisemitism.org/2025
As it does annually, CAM is encouraging mayors across the United States to officially proclaim and celebrate JAHM at the municipal level this May.
Partnering with CAM in these efforts, San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria recently sent a letter to fellow city leaders in the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) urging them to initiate and participate in JAHM activities.
Mayor Gloria was among the 172 city mayors and 37 state governors who recognized JAHM in May 2024, an indication of the growing awareness of the critical importance and timely relevance of this yearly opportunity to highlight Jewish contributions to U.S. society and educate the general public about Jewish culture, traditions, and history.
