Thank you to The Forward and Beth Harpaz for a wonderful story of the Kehillat Israel Cemetery and all who made and continue to carry the legacy forward. I was reminded of the day my mother, Shirley (Sovel) Meyers was buried there several years ago. On that day, I was riding with the funeral director in the hearse that carried her coffin. As we entered the cemetery and proceeded toward her burial plot, he remarked (paraphrasing) “Going down this driveway always reminds me of going down the main streets of Shenandoah and Frackville (the neighboring town where I grew up, whose Jewish community shared the cemetery). The names on the headstones are the same ones as the stores on the main streets.”
