Events & News

On Sunday July 17, 2016 JCBA Board Members gathered at Beth Abraham cemetery in Carrick to bury three headstones damaged in the previous year’s vandalism. Of the nineteen headstones that were vandalized, these three were unable to be repaired and remounted on the graves. Thanks to Board members Michael Roteman and Steven Santman for conducting this moving burial service. The JCBA placed new headstones over these graves. A marker will be unveiled in the coming months.

Volunteers from the community spent a Sunday morning in May 2016 at the Workman’s Circle #45 Cemetery. They raked leaves, pulled weeds and removed debris along the roadway into the cemetery and along sidewalks by the gravesites. Also, tree limbs and branches that had fallen were cleared.

Volunteer needs are ongoing; if you’re interested in helping with our caretaking projects, please email us at info@jcbapgh.org.
