A Jewish cemetery (Hebrew בית עלמין) ("beit almin" or "beit kvarot") is a cemetery where members of the Jewish faith are buried in keeping with Jewish tradition.
Known in Hebrew as "house of eternity," the land of the cemetery is considered holy and a special consecration ceremony takes place on its inauguration. Establishing a cemetery is one of the first priorities for a new Jewish community. A Jewish cemetery is generally purchased and supported with communal funds.
Early Jewish cemeteries were located outside of the city. In the Diaspora, it is traditional to bury the dead with the feet in the direction of Jerusalem. The tombstones usually have inscriptions in Hebrew and the regional language. During the Nazi Germany regime, Jewish cemeteries all over Europe were destroyed and desecrated.
The largest Jewish cemeteries of Europe can be found in Budapest, Łódź, Prague, Warsaw, Vienna and Berlin. Other Jewish cemeteries in Europe include the Jewish Cemetery in Khotyn and the Chatam Sofer Memorial (part of the Old Jewish Cemetery in Bratislava).

These stories are very impressive, emotionally strong, sometimes are even scary, and all of them have a moral reference. They come to life thanks to a remarkable combination of several animation techniques – a silhouette animation, which resembles a shadow play, a classical drawing animation and realistic elements. This creates a totally unique and artistically exceptional project, which pays homage to the legacy of Karel Zeman and other original Czech artists.
The Old Jewish Cemetery in Prague is located next to the Klaus Synagogue it is of great importance but it is not known exactly when the cemetery was established.

The capital of the Czech Republic is also called ‘the golden city’, the ‘mother of cities’, but its most fitting name is the ‘city of 100 spires’. In the old town there are the towers of the City Hall, the Tyn temple and the Magazine. The puppet play of its famous Astronomical clock is marvelled at by thousands every hour.

Prague is a magic city. At the geographic centre of Europe, this capital of a now new country boasts an incredible wealth of culture. Nestling amidst the meanders of the Vlatva river, the old city is a stone’s throw from the ultra-modern district of Karlin. The Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque, Art Nouveau and the communist regime have in turn left their mark on the city’s physiognomy. Mozart, Kafka, Mucha and many others have also left traces of their talent. Alternating cultural heritage with more contemporary themes, Pierre Brouwers shows us that Prague is anything but a museum city. Wenceslas Square . The Castle . Changing the Guard . St Guy’s Cathedral . The Vltava and Charles Bridge . The Old Town . Puppets . Shadow Theatre . The Jewish Quarter, Cemetery, Synagogues . Astro...

Uman and Breslov are cities in Ukraine where Rebbe Nachman taught his followers, becoming the holy leader (tzadik) of the Breslov Hasidim movement. He was born only four years after 1768, the year that a large peasant rebellion led by the Cossacks Gonta and Zalizniak, now considered Ukrainian national heroes, slaughtered 20 000 Uman residents; both Jews and Poles. Today, every year, thousands of Hasidim from 70 countries visit Rebbe Nachman’s grave in Uman on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. The crowds of Hasidim travelling to Uman support a large part of the city’s economy, although not everybody in the city is happy with that. Members of the nationalistic party Freedom (Svoboda) agitate against the foreigners and accuse the local authorities of corruption and selling out to Has...
