Knesset Israel Cemetery

Knesset Israel's Cemetery is located on Peck's Rd, just west of the intersection with Valentine Rd., on the north shore of Onota Lake. To reach the cemetery from Knesset Israel, follow South Street through Park Square to North Street. Turn left at Wahconah Street and left again at the second traffic light onto Peck's Rd. The cemetery is on the right, just past the Lynda Court Apartments, across from the boat landing.

The cemetery is locked at all times for security, but keys are available in the synagogue office.

Cemetery policies are discussed in full in The Book of Life.

The cemetery is maintained by a volunteer committee at Knesset Israel, chaired by David Pill. Volunteers are welcome!
