May Is Jewish American
Heritage Month

Jewish American Heritage Month
(JAHM), a national commemoration
of the contributions that Americans
Jews have made to the fabric of our
nation’s history, culture and society,
began May 1. This year, JAHM cel-
ebrates Americans Jews who have
made a significant impact in the field
of medical research.
“The stories of American Jews are
woven into the rich history of this
diverse nation,” says Ivy Barsky, CEO
and Gwen Goodman Director of the
National Museum of American Jewish
History, the lead sponsor of JAHM.
“This year’s focus on American Jews
in medical research invites deeper
exploration of one of the many facets
of American life impacted by this
community.”
JAHM’s interactive website, JAHM.
us, provides educational resources
to facilitate the nationwide engage-
ment around this year’s celebration.

Website visitors will also find stories
about American Jews in the medical
field and other industries, a historical
timeline, lesson plans, reading lists,
programming ideas and more.
The Medical Pioneers digital book-
let highlights stories of three noted
researchers: biochemist Gertrude
Elion (1918-1999), who developed
life-saving drugs, including the first
chemotherapy for childhood leu-
kemia and treatments for lupus,
hepatitis, arthritis, gout and other
diseases; virologist Jonas Salk (1914-
1995), who created the first vaccines
against polio; and geneticist Baruch
Blumberg (1925-2011), who discov-
ered the Hepatitis B virus and helped
develop the first vaccine to prevent it.
