Happy Jewish American Heritage Month!    Yesterday, I joined Rabbi Noah Farkas for a fireside chat at the @JPACcalifornia’s Capitol Summit. We discussed how California is proud to celebrate and stand with the Jewish community, as well as the vital role Jewish Americans have in shaping our state and nation.

At a time of rising #antisemitism, protecting Jewish families, students, houses of worship, and community institutions isn’t optional — it’s essential. That’s why I was proud to present over $1 million in federal funding I secured for @JFedLA's Community Security Initiative to strengthen safety through training, threat monitoring, and coordination with law enforcement. I’ll keep fighting to ensure the Jewish community can live openly, proudly, and safely. Learn more ➡️ sherman.house.gov/media-cent…
