Following our inspiring community-wide cleanup at Har Nebo last year, we are honored to announce a series of volunteer opportunities to repair some of our most historic local Jewish cemeteries. Volunteer tasks will include raking, picking up trash and clipping overgrown vines. Each cleanup will end with a memorial service to honor all of those buried at the respective cemetery.
