Jewish cemetery

A Jewish cemetery is a place where the Mort S Juifs are buried. Its scheduling and its appearance rise from the rules of the Halakha and the Minhag gim (habits) of the various Jewish communities.

History

At the time biblical deaths were buried in family tombs. According to the Michnah the tombs were to be dug outside the localities and the criminals were buried in separate cemeteries. The institution apparently developed only at the time of Talmud, the Jews of ancient Rome had their clean Catacombe S separate. In several communities the men and the women are buried in distinct lines. Often the tombs of large wise (Hakham im) and Rabbin S of the community are gathered. Deaths recognized as committed suicide are obligatorily buried in a special line as well as the notorious transgressors and the apostates, often close to the enclosure of the cemetery
