About this cemetery
Sanhedria Cemetery is a Jewish burial ground of about 27 dunams in the Sanhedria neighbourhood of Jerusalem, near the Tombs of the Sanhedrin. Until the War of Independence the Mount of Olives was the main cemetery of Jerusalem's Jews; when access became dangerous, this site was used as a temporary burial place. The main Jerusalem burial society acquired land of an agricultural experimental farm for the purpose. Visitors can read more on kadisha.org.
