The Durham Hebrew Cemetery was founded in the 1800s, making it one of the oldest—if not the oldest—Jewish institution in the area. Beth El owns the cemetery, which is located next to the Old Maplewood Cemetery near downtown Durham.
Beth El recently completed an expansion project on the cemetery that will allow us to continue to meet the needs of our community for years to come. Volunteer work is crucial to maintaining the Durham Hebrew Cemetery. If you’re interested in helping to maintain and beautify the cemetery grounds, please contact David Klapper.
