B'nai David Cemetery (formerly Beth David), 9535 Van Dyke, Detroit, MI, USA. 1464 burials total.

Congregation B'nai David originally called Beth David or the Rusisher Shul dates back to the 1880's. Originally in the City of Detroit, the congregation moved to Southfield MI in the early 60's. By the early to mid 2000's the congregation had all but disappeared. What remains is the cemetery that congregants began in 1898 and 585 Yahrzeit plaques that were found in an obscure self storage facility in Oak Park Michigan.
