JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH
"When we use the flame of our own candle to light another candle, the first is not
diminished. There is now, simply more light."
—Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks z”l (of blessed memory)
About Jewish American Heritage Month
Jewish American Heritage Month at San Diego State University is the annual recognition and celebration of the past, present, and future achievements and contributions of Jewish people to the country's history, culture, and society. SDSU honors this heritage month in March, though it is nationally recognized in the month of May. The SDSU Center for Intercultural Relations, in collaboration with student organizations and community partners, plan educational and celebratory programming and invite faculty, staff, and students to participate in the annual series of events. All students, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin, who are interested in celebrating and participating in Jewish History Month events are welcome. Learn more by reading SDSU's Affirming Equal Opportunity statement.
