INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF HAR HAZEITIM

BROOKLYN, NY

The International Committee for the Preservation of Har Hazeitim is a non-profit organization dedicated to the protection and preservation of the Mount of Olives Cemetery in Jerusalem, Israel. The organization, which is based in Brooklyn, NY, was founded in 2010, and its mission is to ensure that the cemetery is maintained in a dignified and respectful manner.

The Mount of Olives Cemetery is one of the oldest and most significant Jewish cemeteries in the world, with burials dating back thousands of years. However, the cemetery has been subject to neglect and vandalism over the years, and the International Committee for the Preservation of Har Hazeitim was established to address these issues.

The organization's work includes initiatives such as cleaning and repairing damaged headstones, improving security measures to prevent vandalism, and raising public awareness about the importance of preserving the cemetery. The International Committee for the Preservation of Har Hazeitim also works with local authorities and community leaders to advocate for the protection of the cemetery.

In addition to its work in Jerusalem, the organization also engages in outreach and education efforts in the United States, with the aim of raising awareness about the importance of preserving Jewish heritage sites around the world. Through its work, the International Committee for the Preservation of Har Hazeitim is helping to ensure that future generations will be able to connect with and learn from this important part of Jewish history.
