Cemetery Fence & Gateway

The entrance to the Jewish cemetery in Aleksandrow is a grand and imposing gateway that serves as a symbol of preserving the sanctity of the final resting place of all the towns Rabbis and inhabitants. The gate was built under the guidance of the Rebbe Shlita, who wanted to ensure that the cemetery was protected from vandalism and intrusion by outsiders. The gate is made of high-quality materials and features three arched doorways. The rebbe’s investment in the gate is a testament to his dedication to preserving the memory of the Rebbes and those who have passed as well as the importance of maintaining the cemetery as a sacred space for future generations.
