Jewish American Hertiage Month

Each May, we honor and recognize the remarkable achievements and invaluable contributions of Jewish Americans to the history, culture, and progress of the United States. Jewish American Heritage Month is a time to reflect on the resilience, innovation, and rich traditions that have helped shape our nation.

At Follett, our Curation Team has carefully selected a diverse collection of K-12 titles that highlight the inspiring stories, influential figures, and pivotal events that have defined Jewish American culture. From historical milestones to contemporary voices, these books offer students the opportunity to explore the depth and vibrancy of Jewish American experiences.

Join us in celebrating Jewish American Heritage Month by exploring these powerful stories and sharing in the legacy of a community that continues to make a lasting impact on our American society.
