Greater Trenton Jewish Cemetery Project

 RESTORATION • PRESERVATION • EDUCATION

 The Greater Trenton Jewish Cemetery Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Your donation is
 tax deductible. 

Dedicated to rehabilitating and preserving
five Jewish Cemeteries dating back to 1857



  
Today, we have the
opportunity to honor
our heritage by making
their final resting places neat,
clean and respectful.
We have built a strong
community based on their
sacrifices and traditions.
We owe it to them to
restore this sacred ground.


Without the courage and
heroism the original
Greater Trenton Jewish
community demonstrated to
get us all to a safe place,
we would not be here.




Hundreds of Jewish Cemetery graves require need  professional restoration
and maintenance to properly honor 
our forebears.
