In this fun presentation, there will be an intriguing array of Jewish celebrities and the infamous who are buried in Jewish cemeteries! How did they get there? Were they worthy to be buried alongside Bubbe and Zaydie. Included will be gunslingers, mobster wise guys, nuclear spies, musicians, along with movers and shakers of the early American immigration. Does one observe the Yahrtzeit of the murderer as well as the righteous? Instead of "Who's Who" we'll look at the gravesides of "Who Was." Find out one more way to discover our Jewish ancestors, many from the wrong side of town. Along the way, we will learn a bit about Jewish burial customs - as my grandfather would say, ?for the same price.?
