Beth Abraham Cemetery

Pittsburgh, Italy

Beth Abraham Cemetery is a historic cemetery in Carrick neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The cemetery is composed of four culturally separate but physically interconnected Jewish burial grounds: Beth Abraham, Shaare Zedeck, Marks, and Gates of Wisdom/Old Shaare. Five major ethnic groups are

represented, with Lithuanian, Russian, Galitzianer, Romanian, and Polish Orthodox populations having significant visibility. It is located in a hilly grove bound by Mullally Street (S), Stewart Avenue (E), St. George's Cemetery (N), and Spinneweber Street (W). As of May 2024, the cemetery is a Pittsburgh Landmark due to its status as the most complete record of the varying Jewish populations in Pittsburgh before the mass migration surrounding the World War II.
