The maintenance season of year 2020 was officially launched! Descendants are starting to enroll their ancestral cemeteries in the effective HFPJC maintenance program to keep the grounds and matzevos in beautiful condition. The important inspections that follow each periodic cutting allows Avoyseinu and the descendants to get real-time updates on the cemetery's condition and performance of the caretaker.
The historical cemetery in Kasho, Slovakia, resting site of a host of venerated rabbis and scholars, underwent a series of important renovations, generously sponsored by descendants and followers. A substantial part of the wall was rebuilt, a lot for parking and a pathway was paved, and the ohels of the rabbis have begun a thorough renovation.
HISTORIC DISCOVERY! Descendants rejoice at the amazing discovery of their ancestral gravestone! After many years of negotiations, HFPJC was finally able to annex part of the cemetery that was excluded from today's registry. When the newly annexed plot was fenced and cleaned, many gravestones and gravestone stubs were found, among them the long-sought fragmented matzeva of Rabbi Shimon Lieberman zt"l, the Sena'r Rav!
HFPJC celebrated 20 years since its founding, and the 500th weekly bulletin. As the organization gears for the new season in which 50 cemeteries are slated for restoration, we pause to reflect on the monumental achievements reached thus far.
