May is Jewish American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Jewish Americans.

Jewish American Heritage Month Spotlight:

Emma Lazarus was a Jewish American author, activist and poet, most famous for her 1883 poem, "The New Colossus," inspired by and now installed on the Statue of Liberty. Learn more about Emma Lazarus in the video below, and share the poem with your family! What does this poem mean to you?

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

The Emma Lazarus Project is a three year multi-faceted initiative that explores the story of Emma Lazarus, a fifth-generation American Jew caught in an impor...
