Jewish cemeteries are called Houses of Life for good reason. This book shows how burial grounds across Europe reflect the ways that specific Jewish communities have lived and continue to live. Thirty cemeteries are profiled, starting with the Roman era, running through Islamic Spain and medieval Italy to baroque and 19th-century Germany, and ending in present-day Britain and France. Each cemetery is illustrated with historical and current plans, maps, paintings, drawings, and photographs of both the cemeteries and the communities they have served.

In the last decade of the nineteenth century, a traditional Jewish cemetery was established in the small town of Bagnowka, located near the urban center of Bialystok in current northeastern Poland. Though governed then by Tsarist Russia, Bialystok was still inspired by the teachings of the Torah, the Talmud, and the greater rabbinic community. Yet this was also a time of societal upheaval as a wave of modernity swept over Eastern Europe, bringing with it religious diversity, revolution, and a more secular way of life that would also impact the structure and material culture of this cemetery. Bagnowka: A Modern Jewish Cemetery on the Russian Pale tells the story of this cemetery from its founding in 1892 to its devastation during and after the Holocaust, as well as its recent restoration-in-progress. Drawing on Bagnowkas epitaphs and tombstone art, archival records, period newspapers, photographs, and more, Heidi M. Szpek reveals how this cemetery serves as a reflection of a once traditional Jewish world impacted by modernity.

A Field Guide to Visiting a Jewish Cemetery clearly offers something missing in Jewish genealogical research: a good book on understanding the ways of Jewish cemeteries and how to interpret the Hebrew inscriptions on tombstones. The fact that tombstone inscriptions are in Hebrew can be a challenge to some researchers. But the material presented in the book is simple enough that it can be understood by those with the most minimal exposure to Hebrew. Yet it is comprehensive enough to be a valuable resource to the most sophisticated Jewish readers. It has a dictionary of Hebrew words found on tombstones but also includes common expressions that appear. The carving of a tombstone can be expensive and sometimes Hebrew expressions are represented in abbreviated form. An appendix shows commonly used abbreviations.

The evolution of cemetery history in the American Jewish community has been driven by two forces: changes in cemetery and burial practices in America, and the gradual acculturation of American Jews. These forces have exerted more influence than have either Jewish customs (min-hag) or Jewish law (halakhah). The first Jewish cemeteries in America followed a pattern of evolution similar to that in non-Jewish cemeteries. Backyard burials were replaced by colonial cemeteries which in turn were replaced by rural cemeteries and park cemeteries. When memorial parks became part of the American funerary landscape, they also became part of the Jewish funerary landscape.As crypt burial became popular in the non-Jewish world, it also began to appear in Reform and for-profit cemeteries in the Jewish world. The forms of markers came from a common set of catalogues and carvers, so there are very few unique Jewish marker forms.The length and quantity of epitaphs waxed and waned in both Jewish and non-Jewish cemeteries. By the mid-twentieth century, epitaphs included much more secular material.Immigrant populations often wrote their inscriptions in the language of the country from which they emigrated. By the second generation, language becomes predominantly English - with Jewish cemeteries retaining Hebrew as well.Increases in Jews marrying non-Jews created challenges.There has been some amalgamation of non-Jewish customs and symbols in Jewish cemeteries. This syncretism has also affected non-Jewish cemeteries, where Jewish symbols can appear. The placement of "pebbles," which was once just a Jewish custom, has become universal. As Yiddish words have become part of the American lexicon, they also appear in non-Jewish epitaphs.Ultimately, cemetery policy is driven by the needs of the bereaved. Policies are usually defined by the local community and/or the trustees who operate the cemetery.In addition to syncretism, it is important to note that traditional cemetery motifs tend to survive despite the use of non-traditional burial practices. Some examples include the use of Hebrew on mausoleums, the use of priestly and Levitic symbolism on columbariums, and the use of traditional texts on pagan marker forms such as obelisks.
