orthodox jewish cemetery - orthodox jewish cemetery

Last rest

The cemetery was opened in 1927, its territory was carved out of the Israelite cemetery on Kozma Street. Its entrance stood in front of the former grenade street loop end of tram 28. Since the terminus was dismantled in 1995, the area in front of the entrance has been overgrown with dense vegetation, the care of which has been neglected, and parts of which have been used directly as landfills. Its entrance is at the end of the only short cul-de-sac opening from this section of Gránátos Street, Csucsor Street. The cemetery is surrounded by a fence, and at its entrance stands a yellow-painted three-division mortuary with a separate room for the male and female dead. Compared to the funeral home of the cemetery on the neighboring Kozma Street, this building is distinctly puritanical. Its foyer is whitewashed, with a sign in Hebrew. From here you can enter the women's and men's ceremonial halls, which have been added to the mortuary, where the dead are washed and sacred prepared in accordance with orthodox religious regulations, which visitors must also observe. The main curiosity of the cemetery is that according to burial traditions, the graves cannot be covered, which is why they are upset. Covering them is only possible for famous people with a solution similar to a tent roof. There are also hundreds of inmates of the Alma Street beloved home slaughtered in World War II, as well as many famous Orthodox (chief) rabbis and religious leaders and teachers, such as Márton Weisz, Jenő Schück, Mór Kohn, Ármin Sächter and Mátyás Weisz. source Acenter.hu

Interesting place. It is much more puritanical compared to Kozma Street or other Jewish cemeteries, but perhaps we could also say that it is more deserted. As if they weren't even using it. The mortuary, too, seems to not work. The cemetery is rich, in many places the age of the graves is undetectable. Unlike other Jewish cemeteries, there are only Hebrew inscriptions everywhere. I know it's free to visit.
