History & Guide:
Massachusetts Jewish Cemeteries
2010-2012 Edition
JCAM has published its newest Guide to Jewish Cemeteries: Bridging Past,
Present and Future. This 2010-2012 edition contains the same familiar elements that
have made our Guide such a successful and popular publication, but it focuses on the accomplishments
of our Past, the continuity of our Present, and the vision for our Future.
The Guide will be mailed shortly to more than 10,000 households in Massachusetts and also will be available at temples, libraries and cemeteries in the state. It also is available in PDF right here – please click to start a download (5 MB, PDF).
Many companies and individuals supported the Guidebook with contributions that support for the following:
- Providing a community-wide genizah (book depository) for the burial of sacred materials.
- Educational programming for our children through “Cemeteries Are For The Living” tours and our new Jewish War Veterans Day Flag Project.
- The Mystic River Jewish Communities Project at the historic Ohabei Shalom Chapel in East Boston will capture and tell of our Jewish beginnings in the communities along the Mystic River.
- Ongoing restoration and maintenance on our 104 Jewish cemeteries in Massachusetts as well as our expansion project at the Beit Olam East Cemetery in Wayland.
- Genealogical database library for the Jewish community worldwide.
The new Guide is hot off the presses and will be available soon.
It is being mailed to more than 10,000 households in MA.
