A Jewish cemetery (Hebrew בית עלמין) ("beit alamin" or "beit kvarot") is a cemetery where members of the Jewish faith are buried in keeping with Jewish tradition.
Known in Hebrew as "house of eternity," the land of the cemetery is considered holy and a special consecration ceremony takes place on its inauguration. Establishing a cemetery is one of the first priorities for a new Jewish community. A Jewish cemetery is generally purchased and supported with communal funds.
The Star of David is known in Hebrew as the Shield of David or Magen David (Hebrew מָגֵן דָּוִד or מגן דוד without nikkud, pronounced [mɔˈɣen dɔˈvið] in Tiberian Hebrew (the dialect of the Masoretic Bible), often transcribed Māḡēn Dāwīḏ by Biblical Hebrew linguists, and pronounced [maˈɡen daˈvid] in Modern Hebrew, as well as Mogein Dovid [ˈmɔɡeɪn ˈdɔvid] or Mogen Dovid in Ashkenazi Hebrew and Yiddish). The Shield of David is a generally recognized symbol of Jewish identity and Judaism.[1] The Menorah, the candelabra of seven oil lamps from the Temple in Jerusalem, is a more ancient symbol of Jewish identity.
