Jewish cemetery of Beirut, Jewish cemetery in Ras el Nabaa district, Beirut, Lebanon.
The cemetery spans across multiple burial sections, featuring thousands of graves adorned with Hebrew inscriptions and Stars of David symbols.
Established in 1829 with Rabbi Moses Yedid-Levy's burial, this cemetery documents the presence of Jewish communities in Lebanon through the Ottoman period.
The inscriptions on tombstones display multiple languages including Hebrew, French, and Arabic, reflecting the multicultural character of Lebanese Jewish society.
Located on Damascus Road, the cemetery contains over 3,000 graves and remains a significant genealogical resource for researchers studying Lebanese Jewish history.
During the Lebanese Civil War, the cemetery's location made it a demarcation line, resulting in the placement of mines throughout the grounds.
