RAPID RESPONSE TEAMS

From time immemorial, Jewish cemeteries have been targets for vandalism. Even today, attacks on Jewish cemeteries continue to occur worldwide. Some of these terrible acts are committed as vandalism alone, while others are inspired by anti-Semitism.

CAJAC has been at the forefront of helping Jewish cemeteries aggressively remediate vandalism and attack. When G-d forbid cemetery vandalism occurs, CAJAC organizes volunteer groups to help with remediation, including graffiti removal and carting debris. CAJAC can also help arrange stone remounting and guide cemetery owners/operators on best practices.

CAJAC can also assist Jewish cemeteries in designing and implementing security systems and protocols.

“When you mention Jewish cemeteries in America, the interest is not always there. My feeling is, Jewish history is Jewish history and how could you allow Jewish cemeteries to fall into disrepair and be overgrown? CAJAC represents the Jewish community’s collective response to cemetery preservation and it is continuing to become backstop to take care of Jewish cemeteries in Metropolitan New York.”

Richard FishmanFormer Director of the New York State Division of Cemeteries.

CAJAC shares with the National Association of Chevros Kadisha (NASCK) a commitment to highlighting the Jewish community’s sacred duty towards end-of-life issues. I am pleased CAJAC continues to address the systemic challenges facing Jewish cemeteries,simultaneously sensitizing the Jewish community as it relates to its obligation to care for its cemeteries.
