Cemetery Description:

Knesses Israel Cemetery - Indianapolis, IN, USA. 653 burials total.

Founded by Russian immigrants in 1889, Knesses Israel was the 3rd Orthodox immigrant synagogue in Indianapolis. The congregation no longer exists. Volunteers were provided through Congregation Shaarey Tefilla including Rae Kridel, Dan and Lynn Davis, and members of the Goldstein family. References to ARN refer to the Aaron-Ruben-Nelson Mortuary in Indianapolis [arnmortuary.com] which graciously allowed access to information from their burial records, which volunteers Dan and Lynn Davis entered into the database. The database includes information gleaned from ARN records on individuals for whom no stones could be found. Kelly Street Project Leader: Gloria Green of Congregation Beth-El Zedeck, with the assistance of David Green.
