Waldheim Jewish Cemeteries


Cemetery #32: Shomer Shabbos (Atereth Israel)

Shomer Shabbos are those Jews who strictly follow the traditional law concerning the Sabbath. In some cemeteries, they have sections for themselves, in which certification of this status is required for burial.

This is the Shomer Shabbos cemetery of Congregation Atereth Israel (as can be seen on the leftmost granite post); the general section for this congregation is immediately south.
