The Temple Adath cemetery is located on a large, impressive hillside at Jamesville and Thurber Streets in Syracuse, overlooking most if not all of the greater Syracuse area. It is a carefully and delicately maintained parcel of land consistent with the Jewish mandate of Kibud Hamet, “respect for those who have passed away”. The Temple Adath Yeshurun cemetery is available to all members of the Jewish community. It is carefully maintained by our professional Executive Director who is very responsive to the needs of all of our families. We encourage pre-arrangements in order to minimize the unnecessary anxiety when decisions can be made carefully and thoughtfully. Our Executive Director welcomes your inquiries and is always available to accompany you in visiting this very impressive, inspiring, sacred place.

Temple Adath provides for all those at its cemetery an uplifting Kever Avot service the Sunday morning between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. It is good Jewish tradition that we are encouraged to visit the graves of those who have gone before us, not simply as a source of memory, but just as important, to reaffirm relationships and bonds of love of life and affection. The service is conducted both by our rabbi and our cantor with thousands of thousands in attendance.

For further information about the Temple Adath cemetery, please contact our Executive Director, Barbara S. Simon, 445-0002 Ext. 125
