Cemetery - Temple B''nai Abrham

This year marks the 137th anniversary of this cemetery. The story of Temple B’nai Abraham begins in 1889, when an official charter was issued to Chevra B’nai Abraham. In 1891, the congregation erected a place of worship on Cedar Street to house the congregation’s 125 member families. The congregation also purchased land for its own cemetery and had its own chevra kadisha – a “holy society” of Jews who prepare the body for burial in accordance with Jewish law.
