   Re-setting each gravestone at the cemeteries of the Greater Trenton Jewish Cemetery Project (GTJCP) is a costly proposition. It takes a team of 2-3 people up to 90 minutes for each stone, using specialized equipment and skills. The cost ranges as high as $350 per gravesite.  To afford this, GTJCP counts on donations, from $18 to $1,800 or more, from members of our Jewish Community.  Donations may be made online at www.GTJCP.org/donate  or by mail to: GTJCP ℅ R.Stark, PO Box 5315, Princeton, NJ 08543.     This is a sequence showing the repair of a gravestone:   Photo 1 - Lift stone from base     Photo 2 — Level the base footing     Photo 3 Replaced base and stone
