“Cemeteries Are For The Living”Educational Cemetery Tours
"Cemeteries Are For The Living" Education Tours Booking for FallJCAM's Cemeteries Are for the Living tours are improving each year. This Spring, in addition to the many b'nai mitzvot children and their parents who participated in our tours, JCAM found a number of adult education groups interested in learning about the role Jewish cemeteries play in the rich history of Jewish Boston. JCAM is currently booking cemetery tours for the Fall 2011 season. Our “Cemeteries Are For The Living” educational program continues to be a great success and cemetery education tours are fast becoming an annual activity with many synagogue and community groups. Take advantage of this unique educational experience for youth groups and adults. Education and community program directors can call on our representative to develop a program specific to your group's needs. With 25 years experience in caring, restoring and ensuring the continuity of Jewish cemeteries in Massachusetts, we are uniquely qualified to bring a new dimension into Jewish education. Cemeteries Are for the Living tour are being organized by community:
We will also have opportunities to participate in community mitzvah projects. Visit our website often for updates.
We feel it is important to connect Jewish young people with their past through cemetery education. We can help the next generation honor, remember, and connect to the once vibrant Jewish communities their spirited ancestors pioneered through a “Cemeteries Are For The Living” education tour. You may want to be thinking about your calendar year ahead--tour dates fill up quickly.

There is no fee for JCAM's educational programs as we consider cemetery education an essential component of our core mission to the Jewish community. Your generous tax-deductible donation can be made to the JCAM Charitable Foundation at the time of the presentation or mailed to the address above.
The goal of the JCAM Charitable Foundation is to educate and inform all members of the Jewish community—young and not so young—to connect with their past, embrace the present, and look to the future utilizing Jewish cemetery education. Our loved ones who have gone before us can be the bridge to a broader, more meaningful understanding of our rich and unique heritage.
We look forward to hearing from you soon.
