From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bayside Acacia Cemetery is a cemetery in Queens, NY. It one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in New York City. It was founded in the mid-nineteenth century, and among those buried there are many military veterans from the Civil War onward.
In the last several decades, the cemetery has fallen into extensive disrepair. It is maintained by Congregation Shaare Zedek, which is located several miles away on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. The cost of maintaining the cemetery is, to a large extent, more than the congregation can bear.
