I rise to speak in support of Senate Resolution No. 34, which recognizes April 29, 2025, as End Jew-Hatred Day in the state of Michigan. For millennia, the Jewish people have maintained their religious, cultural, and ethnic identity, despite facing enslavement, persecution, genocide, segregation, and discrimination.

This resolution is not merely symbolic, it is a declaration that we as representatives of the people of Michigan unequivocally condemn Jew-hatred in all its forms. By recognizing End Jew-Hatred Day, we affirm our commitment to combatting antisemitism and ensuring that the intergenerational trauma experienced by the Jewish community is neither forgotten nor repeated. Let us unite, setting aside political differences, to stand resolute against discrimination and persecution. I urge you all to support this resolution and join me in honoring today, April 29, as End Jew-Hatred Day.
