Mount Sinai Cemetery, (so named on a present-day City of Syracuse map; a.k.a. Temple Beth El Cemetery, according to a sign on the East Colvin-side fence; including the cemetery of the Zedeck Va'emes Society, according to a sign on the Jamesville Road side)

    Located in the City of Syracuse, at the corner of East Colvin Street and Jamesville Road, not far south of Syracuse University

    The preliminary information submitted here was obtained from headstone readings taken at the cemetery by Fran Mosconi beginning in autumn 1998.  Further readings are planned in the future.  I will not be able to reproduce Hebrew inscriptions at this time, as are found on most of the stones.  Surnames are listed alphabetically; individuals are not necessarily alphabetical within families, in order to maintain clarity of tombstones’ notes as to marriage, parenthood and the like.  Individuals of the same surname are often but not always buried near one another.  Maiden names, or persons of differing surnames obviously buried with one another, are cross-referenced when possible.

    A number of the headstones are toppled; my sense is that this is primarily due to a large section of the cemetery's having been built on a very steep hill, with ensuing weakening over time of the stones' foundations, and to the tremendously strong windstorm of September 7, 1998, which brought down a great many old trees onto cemetery monuments in this part of the county.  The newer part of this cemetery is still in use.
