Har Nebo Cemetery

Har Nebo Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery in the Oxford Circle neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Established in 1890, it is the oldest privately owned Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia.

It is named for Mount Nebo, a Moabite mountain mentioned as the place where Moses died in the Hebrew Bible on the other side the Jordan River.

Many gravestones are knocked over, much of the ground is unkempt, and the cemetery is often inaccessible.

[3] A restoration has been undertaken by Friends of Jewish Cemeteries to take ownership of and restore the cemetery to its previous condition.
