This is a beautiful Jewish cemetery with a rich history. It is interesting to walk through the cemetery and read some of the inscriptions on the monuments and markers. Some of them are really sad when you realize it marks the spot of a child, but then a few spaces over is the grave of a centenarian. There are lots of people buried here who made a big contribution to the Jewish community, but there are also lots of ordinary people buried here who quietly lived their lives. An interesting and quiet place to visit, to marvel at the architecture of the many private mausoleums, sacarphagi, monuments, markers, to enjoy the natural beauty of the surroundings.
