Jewish Pictures

This is a picture of a synagogue. Although not all look like this, it gives you an idea of how nice the can look inside.


This is a headstone that you’ll find at any given Jewish cemetery. It normally has the persons regular name and their Jewish name. Very often there will be Hebrew lettering on it. Like I said in my other post, you’ll typically find rock on it instead of flowers.
This is a kippah also named Yarmelka (Yiddish) or a skullcap. On occation you might see a person walking around wearing one. Usually men wear it. They start wearing this after their bat mitzvah. They can come in all colors and styles.


And lastly this is a typical casket that a Jewish person will be buried in. although it’s not a great picture you get the idea that it is extremely simple. There are wooden pins that will hold the top down. These also can come in various shapes and sizes depending on the person.
