The Beth Olam Cemetery is an historic cemetery located in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, New York. It was initiated in 1851 by three Manhattan Jewish congregations: Congregation Shearith Israel (Spanish-Portuguese) of West 70th Street, B'nai Jeshurun of West 89th Street, and Temple Shaaray Tefila of East 79th Street. Because Beth Olam is shared by both Sephardic and Ashkenazi congregations, the cemetery's burials illustrate the differing customs of stemming from varied Jewish traditions. The origin surnames of the interred vary according to which congregation they had belonged - a visual representation of community development of each synagogue, as well as an historical chronicle of Jewish life in New York City. The cemetery is the final resting place of many prominent members of each of thethree congregations, including individuals of national renown such as Uriah P. Levy, Emma Lazarus and Benjamin Cardozo. The Beth Olam Cemetery is included in the National Register of Historic Places. See: https://www.nps.gov/nr/feature/places/pdfs/16000254.pdf.
