Back In Time
n more cases than we care to admit, historic burial
grounds tell as much about Jewish life as historical
accounts do.
By reading the burial markers,
observing the stonework and walking

fices helped water the figurative fruits
that we enjoy today.

the General Motors Poletown plant in
Hamtramck. The last burial was in 1948.
For 80 years an active burial site, especially for
Congregation Shaarey Zedek, Beth Olem (literally "house

Beginning on page 6, Special Writer Bill Carroll, under
Associate Editor Alan Hitsky's direction, shares what he learned

Krista Husa took the photos.
The story of Beth Olem is the story of the Detroit
Jewish community — proud, resourceful and enduring.
Shabbat Shalom!
