On Sunday morning, January 6, 2019, in Lake Worth, Florida, a group of 100 rabbonim, South Florida Chevra Kadisha members, local funeral directors, and other donors and supporters joined NASCK staff in consecrating the first Jewish cemetery whose mission is to encourage burial over cremation.

Please partner with us in this historic endeavor

The doors of the South Florida Jewish Cemetery are open at last. But our work has just begun. We are still in need of benefactors to dedicate various parts of the cemetery, including the name of the cemetery and the burial of m'sei mitzvah. Click here for Donation Opportunities
