About Us

Congregation B’nai Israel Cemetery Association

Founded with deep respect for Jewish tradition and a commitment to community service, the Congregation B’nai Israel Cemetery Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the care, preservation, and sanctity of our sacred burial grounds. We serve as stewards of our community’s past, honoring generations of loved ones with dignity, reverence, and compassion.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide and maintain a final resting place for members of the Jewish community, in accordance with halachic (Jewish legal) tradition. We are committed to upholding the values of kavod ha-met (respect for the deceased) and nichum aveilim (comforting the bereaved), offering families guidance, support, and peace of mind during times of loss.

Our History

The Cemetery Association was established by members of Congregation B’nai Israel to ensure that the traditions and rituals of Jewish burial were preserved for future generations. Over the years, we have cared for our cemetery with devotion—maintaining not only the physical grounds, but also the spiritual and historical significance they hold.

What We Do

  • Cemetery Maintenance & Preservation: We ensure the cemetery remains a respectful, beautiful, and serene environment for remembrance and reflection.

  • Burial Services & Coordination: We work closely with families, synagogues, and funeral homes to coordinate services in accordance with Jewish customs.

  • Historical Preservation: We honor the memory of those who came before us by maintaining accurate records, restoring older sections of the cemetery, and preserving Jewish heritage.

  • Community Education & Outreach: We provide information about Jewish burial practices and encourage conversations about end-of-life planning within a respectful and supportive framework.

Our Commitment

We recognize that caring for the departed is a sacred responsibility. Every decision we make is guided by our values, our heritage, and our unwavering commitment to serving the Jewish community with compassion, integrity, and respect.

Whether you are planning for the future or honoring a loved one’s memory, the Congregation B’nai Israel Cemetery Association is here to support you with care, understanding, and tradition.
