The
Ancient Jewish Cemetery at The Lido of Venice
Venice actually has two Jewish cemeteries on the Lido: one old, one new. The
older (and smaller) cemetery is said to be the oldest graveyard in Europe,
dating back to a time when Jews were buried in sand on the edges of the Venetian
lagoon.
Jewish Venice
Emissaries from the Lubavitcher Rebe in New York established a local chabad
in 1991; today, the community operates a rabbinical academy, a Jewish library, a
chabad house, and the Gam Gam kosher restaurant (see below).
