Congresswoman Beatty Statement on Jewish American Heritage Month

Washington, DC – U.S. Congresswoman Beatty (OH-03) released the following statement today in recognition of Jewish American Heritage Month, which is celebrated each May:

During Jewish American Heritage Month, we celebrate a vibrant community that has strengthened and enriched our culture. For generations, Jewish families have come to America as a safe haven, free from fear, to express their religious beliefs. The rich faith and cultural traditions of embracing peace and equality found within the Jewish heritage continue to be woven into the multicultural tapestry that defines our nation.

The rich diversity in the Third Congressional District of Ohio and throughout our nation is a source of strength. Out of many cultures, beliefs, and creeds, we are one.
