| Cemetery Description: |
List of names from register of Hevra Kadisha (burial society) of Sepharadim in Jerusalem (a copy is in Rabbi Efraim Laniado's collection). As is typical of other regions of the Ottoman Empire, Aleppo had no official death records. Deaths are often mentioned in manuscripts of Eulogies that have survived. These records have been translated and transliterated as part of the Sephardic Heritage Project, with donations from members of Brooklyn's Syrian Community, under the supervision of Sarina Roffe (Brooklyn, NY).
The records, which use Hebrew cursive script in Hebrew as well as Judeo-Arabic documents, have been translated by Rabbi Abraham Ades. Then under the supervision of Gallit Mizrahi (Jerusalem, Israel), the records were translated into English.
