HaRav Avrohom Kammer, Rov of the Central Court Shul in Lakewood, voiced strong outrage this week during a visit to Lithuania after witnessing the condition of several historic Jewish cemeteries that have fallen into neglect and, in some cases, have been desecrated.

HaRav Kammer was traveling with a group of mispallelim on a heritage trip to visit the kevarim of Gedolei Yisroel and other historic Jewish sites throughout Lithuania.

During the visit, members of the group were deeply pained by the sight of overgrown, abandoned, and desecrated cemeteries that serve as the final resting places of generations of Yidden.

HaRav Kammer stressed the importance of preserving these sacred sites and honoring the memory of the countless Yidden buried there, expressing hope that greater efforts will be made to restore and protect the cemeteries for future generations.
