The Jewish Cemetery Association of North America (JCANA) deplores the recent desecration of Jewish cemeteries in St. Louis and Philadelphia. These senseless acts only serve to intensify the current divide in this country. We hope that the perpetrators of these crimes will be caught and brought to justice, and that the sanctity of all Jewish cemeteries will be protected and respected.

JCANA represents hundreds of Jewish cemeteries throughout the US and Canada. We stand ready to counsel any of our colleagues who need advice or assistance.
