Request by the Commissioner of Precinct 4 for approval of a resolution recognizing May 2026 as Jewish American Heritage Month in Harris County.

Jewish American Heritage Month is celebrated every May across the country to honor the contributions and history of Jewish Americans. This resolution would make Harris County's recognition official for 2026.

This is a ceremonial resolution — a formal statement of recognition from Harris County's governing body. It was introduced on June 1, 2026 by the Precinct 4 Commissioner and carries file number 26-3806. Resolutions like this don't create new programs or spending; they express the county's values and acknowledgment of a community.
