Baron de Hirsch Cemetery

Howdy!

Last month I did some wandering around Baron de Hirsch Cemetery. It’s not a place I get to frequently, and while wandering around sort of realized I have no clue about any funeral traditions, Jewish or otherwise. While there, I discovered that Danny Kucharsky had written a book about the Baron de Hirsch Cemetery a couple of years ago. No matter how hard I try, I can’t really seem to get excited about it…
