SUPPORT THE CEMETERY PRESERVATION CAMPAIGN
Many of Cleveland’s older Jewish cemeteries are located in areas where the Jewish community no longer lives and synagogues no longer exist. Without an organized effort, these cemeteries have fallen into disrepair and the Jewish Federation of Cleveland has stepped in to help. The Federation has launched a Cemetery Preservation Campaign with the goal of raising $3.5 million to care for the deceased. The funds raised by the campaign will help sustain the annual maintenance costs for the cemeteries for generations to come.

This is a community-wide effort. Join us. Caring for these cemeteries is one of the highest mitzvot we can achieve. Support for this critical initiative will ensure that we are truly honoring the past, uniting the present, and strengthening the future.
