This site marks the city’s first Jewish burial ground, beginning with the burial of Mr. Alexander Kahnweiler. Located on Fulton just south of Lorain, it is the area where many of the first Jewish settlers made their home in Cleveland. On this tour, you'll learn about Jewish history, burial traditions, and the significance of community in Jewish heritage.
