  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker, one month that is commonly and 
unfortunately overlooked in our country is Jewish American Heritage 
Month. As we witness anti-Semitism rise across the country, it is more 
important now more then ever that we recognize the great 
accomplishments that Jewish Americans have contributed to the United 
States and the world. Jewish Americans have thrived in our great nation 
for generations by serving honorably in the government and military, 
winning Nobel prizes, leading universities and corporations, and 
serving on the Supreme Court as symbols of Justice. In South Jersey, it 
is no different as we boast of many successful Jewish authors, 
physicists, entrepreneurs, and a former Secretary of Homeland Security. 
We are proudly home to over 200,000 Jewish Americans so join me as we 
honor this great group of individuals by celebrating Jewish American 
Heritage Month. God bless our Jewish Americans, God bless Israel, and 
God Bless the United States of America.
