Join the Conversation!
Join the JHE Facebook Groups — in English and Italian:
Launched in January 2020, the JHE Groups complements the JHE Facebook page and allows members to discuss issues and activities related to Jewish built heritage in Europe — including cemeteries.
It can be a real forum for the exchange of ideas and experience.

— protection of boundaries
— Halachic (Jewish law) questions
— visitor access to cemeteries

— archaeological implications of cemeteries
— modern buildings on cemeteries, etc.
