Document A Historic Jewish Cemetery in Newark
Sunday, March 30
10:00 am - 11:30 am (EDT)
We’re preserving the rich history of our Jewish cemeteries in Newark by documenting gravestones to accompany burial information in the JewishGen Worldwide Burial Registry, while also ensuring that loved ones can be visited from afar.
This mitzvah ensures that future generations can connect with and respect the past and is a powerful way to fulfill the Jewish value of Kavod HaMet, honoring the dead.
This event is open to volunteers of all ages.

Security at Federation Events
The Gloria and Jesse Weissberg Community Security Initiative (CSI) is coordinating all security with local, county, and state law enforcement. At every Federation event, all available resources are utilized to ensure your safety. Important items of note:
- Bag policy: Backpacks, luggage, and large purses are not permitted at events. We encourage you not to bring a bag, if possible, or to bring a very small bag. All bags may be subject to search.
- Additional security measures: Additional security procedures may be implemented (e.g. metal detectors) as needed.
- Social media protocol: We ask you not to share the location of a Federation event prior to or during the event and to refrain from posting about a Federation activity until after it has ended, and the site is clear of attendees.
Building an inclusive community is a priority. Please email [email protected] to let us know if you require an accommodation to meaningfully participate in an event. One of our Federation professionals will reach out to you to learn more.
