I mean, we'll be back to New York often, musica but these musica things are sort of out of the way and something I probably wouldn't get around to doing on a typical 4-5 day vacation here. So he humoured me and rented a car for the day. He was also anxious to see his home town, Rockville Center, not having been back there in 20 musica years.Our first stop yesterday afternoon was Beth David Cemetery in Elmont. I can't tell if its in Queens (NYC) or Nassau County (Long Island) since it's right on the border. Jess might know. Anyhow, Beth David Cemetery is a very old set of plots, many of the headstones dating to the turn of last century. It's entirely Jewish as far as I know. Each grave is grouped into an area with many others, with a loose boundary set by some gates and pillars on either side. The purpose of the groupings is to define the "Chevra Kadisha" for that particular set of plots, at least at the time that area was opened for business. A Chevra Kadisha is a basically a burial society that exists in Judaism and whose responsibility it is to see that a Jewish body is properly prepared for burial according to Jewish law.
