Rabbi Ira Schiffer has been looking into the possibility of creating an “informal” Jewish section of the Middlebury Cemetery, off South Main Street, across from the College’s Center for the Arts. Since it’s not possible to “fence off a section,” if a number of individuals or families from Havurah purchased adjoining plots, this would create a de facto area of folks from our community. Apart from not being in a “dedicated Jewish cemetery,” the Middlebury Cemetery Association’s rules and regulations accommodate most traditional Jewish concerns about burial.
