 JCAM's 25th Anniversary
Cemeteries History & Guidebook
Is Now Available
In time for the Elul cemetery visitation season, the JCAM Charitable Foundation has released its newest edition of History & Guide: Massachusetts Jewish Cemeteries as part of their 25th anniversary commemoration.
The Guide, complete with maps and directions to all 209 Jewish cemeteries in Massachusetts, also features the historical origins of the State’s Jewish cemeteries, dating as far back as 1844. Additionally, readers can learn how Jewish cemeteries got their names, who founded the cemeteries, and the significance of maintaining these “museums of memories” for future generations.  Also contained in the Guide is a section that, for the first time, highlights four historic Jewish cemeteries and the stories of their origins.
This 25th Anniversary commemorative edition includes supporting advertisers, community sponsors, hours of operation, guidelines on the burial of books and artifacts, and graveside prayers. This is JCAM’s finest and most historical edition yet.
A supply of guidebooks will be made available to the public on JCAM cemeteries in time for the High Holidays. Please contact the JCAM Charitable Foundation at 617-244-6509 for a copy, or click here to download a PDF version (warning: it's an 8 MB file).
Founded in 1984, the Jewish Cemetery Association of Massachusetts is proudly celebrating its 25th year of dedicated service and commitment to the Jewish community. |
