Mr. Speaker. I rise in support of Senate Joint Resolution 241 designating the week of May 613. 1984. as "Jewish Heritage Week." America is a nation of immigrants. Understanding the similarities between our various heritages is what has unified our Nation. By designating a specific week as Jewish Heritage Week. we are encouraging a broader awareness and appreciation of the culture. history. and traditions of the Jewish community. For the Jewish community the months of March. April. and May contain events of major significance. Passover. the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. Israeli Independence Day. Solidarity Sunday for Soviet Jewry. and Jerusalem Day.
