The second quarter of 2024 continued apace with a very exciting new development in our work ...

The completely overgrown sections 30 and 31 have been cleared of bushes and some trees.

With so much activity over the last 7 months, we feel a midyear update is worthy of your attention.

It is with pleasure that we would like to invite you (18-23 years old) to our Cemetery Event this year in Budapest, July 20-27, 2021. Do something good for the community and for yourself. Travel again for the first time after the pandemic.

Please read our progress report for 2019. It was a challenging season.

On Oct 15th 2018, after 18 months of planning and fund raising, we began the work of saving one of the world’s largest Jewish cemeteries.

With so much happening, we thought a quarterly update would be useful. Please press "read more" to see the whole message.

Combining the good with the useful. Our park benches are very popular.
