Ponevezh Cemetery, Jewish cemetery in Bnei Brak, Israel.

Ponevezh Cemetery is a Jewish burial ground in Bnei Brak that houses graves of rabbis and scholars connected to the Ponevezh Yeshiva. The gravestones display Hebrew inscriptions and are organized in a traditional layout to preserve the legacy of the religious community.

Ponevezh Cemetery was founded in the 1960s by Rabbi Yosef Shlomo Kahaneman, founder of the Ponevezh Yeshiva, in southern Bnei Brak beside the older Shomrei Shabbat cemetery. Its first grave was that of Rabbanit Gutel Shach, wife of Rabbi Elazar Menachem Man Shach, buried in 1969. Kahaneman planned to reinter the remains of the Vilna Gaon and the Chafetz Chaim here, but the plan was never carried out.

The cemetery follows Jewish burial practices with Hebrew inscriptions that honor the deceased and their contributions to religious learning. Visitors find a quiet space designed for contemplation and prayer among the graves.

The cemetery can be reached via Hazon Ish Street in Bnei Brak and is accessible by public transportation from the city center. Visitors should dress respectfully and allow time for prayer or personal reflection at the graves.
