About this cemetery
Har HaMenuchot is the central Jewish cemetery of Jerusalem, opened in 1951 after the Mount of Olives cemetery became inaccessible following the 1948 fighting. It lies on a hill about 750 metres above sea level on the western side of the city and serves all of Jerusalem's communities. Rabbi Aharon Rokeach of Belz is among those buried here. For enquiries, call +972 2-625-2281 or see matara.pro.
