Re: [Cz-L] cemetary

Hello Rabbi Zwecker,

Many thanks for writing to us about Ohalei Tzadikim and Israel Meir Gabai
and the work he does to repair and maintain Jewish cemeteries in all the
places you mentioned.

Could you describe in some detail according to what criteria,
"Ohalei Tzadikim" selects the cemeteries to restore and maintain?
Also whether the work it does, is financed by people who are descendant
 from those interned in the particular cemetery, or from funds obtained
independently?

Thanks and chol tuv,

Miriam (Mimi) Taylor
