Dear Czernowitzers,
My apologies for sending and incomplete message before.
I would like to call your attention to a very new blog focusing on
Jewish cemeteries around the world and relevant topics and issues.
The International Jewish Graveyard Rabbit
<http://jewishgraveyardrabbit.blogspot.com>
was created by Schelly Talalay Dardashti, author of Tracing the Tribe
- The Jewish Genealogy Blog
<http://tracingthetribe.blogspot.com>
This was in response to a call from a major genblogger for
locality-specific Graveyard Rabbits (many genbloggers have already
responded). Schelly believed that since Jewish cemeteries, no matter
the location, share the same language, traditions, customs, an
international Jewish Graveyard Rabbit was preferable, and that a team
of international writers should contribute with their expertise.
It will cover Jewish cemeteries around the world, preservation and
restoration projects; Jewish traditions (death, burial and mourning),
Jewish tombstone symbols, how to read a Hebrew tombstone and discover
genealogical information, cemetery news and other relevant topics.
Where differences exist, the blog will address Ashkenazi, Sephardi
and Mizrahi customs and issues. Photographs will be included, as well
as extensive links to sites providing relevant information.
Researchers who have visited an ancestral cemetery are invited to
participate with their personal experiences and photographs.
In addition to Schelly, the team currently includes Daniel
Horowitz-Israel, Celia Male-UK, Gaby Laws-UK, Samuel Gruber-US and
David Stoleru-Spain.
There is a post with all the information on the cemetery page taken
from the web site http://czernowitz.ehpes.com/.

to suggest a topic of interest, please send details to Schelly
