A Field Guide to Visiting a Jewish Cemetery: A Spiritual Journey to the Past, Present and Future.
By Rabbi Joshua L. Segal, Jewish Cemetery Publishing, 2007
This book “takes any Jewish cemetery and its artifacts and transforms them into a Jewish museum. The material presented is simple enough that it can be understood by those with the most minimal exposure to Hebrew, but it is comprehensive enough to be a valuable resource to the most sophisticated Jewish readers.”
