On several bike rides, we passed Jewish cemeteries. This prompted me to plan a bike tour through several nearby Jewish cemeteries. We learned this: Jewish cemeteries are not abandoned (dismantled at some point), but are meant to remain forever. You enter the cemetery wearing a head covering. The graves
