A RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN COUNCIL OF THE TOWN OF TIBURON RECOGNIZING MAY 2025 AS
JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH IN THE TOWN OF TIBURON
WHEREAS, May is recognized as Jewish American Heritage Month to honor the Jewish American experience -- a story
of faith, fortitude, and progress connected to key tenets of American identity, including the right of freedom of religion for
all; and
WHEREAS, throughout American history, generations of Jewish immigrants fleeing persecution have sought the promise
of freedom and opportunity to start life a new in America; and
WHEREAS, the Jewish American community is diverse, with individuals connecting to their Jewish identity through
various means, including culture, ethnicity, religion, and shared values, each bringing unique perspectives shaped by their
histories and backgrounds; and
WHEREAS, there are an estimated 7.5 million Jewish Americans, with California being home to the second largest
Jewish American population in the United States, with thriving communities throughout the state; and
WHEREAS, Jewish Americans have made enduring contributions across various fields, including science, arts, law,
business, and public service, enriching the nation's development and diversity; and
WHEREAS, as we celebrate these accomplishments, we also recognize that members of the Jewish American
communities continue to face antisemitism and discrimination; the Town of Tiburon unequivocally condemns such acts
and urges all community members to embrace, learn from, and collaborate with Jewish residents, celebrating both our
differences and shared values, and supports the need for education and culturally competent policies that acknowledge and
address the experiences and challenges faced by Jewish Americans in all facets of society; and
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Town Council of the Town of Tiburon hereby proclaim May 1-31,
2025, as Jewish American Heritage Month, in recognition and appreciation of the achievements and contributions made
by members of the Jewish community and calls upon all residents to confront antisemitism and all forms of hate, support
local education about the diversity within the Jewish community, and celebrate Jewish Americans who have woven the
fabric of our country and community.
