L’dor v’dor.
The time
has come to
safeguard our
sacred burial
grounds.
JCANA is here to prevent future abandonment and serve as a clearinghouse for the perpetuity of Jewish burial practices in accordance with Jewish law and custom. When we pay tribute to those who came before us, we dignify the meaning of our lives too. They a part of us, we a part of them and so the covenant passes from generation to generation, l’dor v’dor.
