Jackson Pioneer Jewish Cemetery, also known as Givoth Olam (English: Hills of Eternity), is a no longer active Jewish cemetery founded in 1857 by the Congregation B'nai Israel, and is located in Jackson, Amador County, California.
[1][7] It is a private site operated by the Commission for the Preservation of Pioneer Jewish Cemeteries and Landmarks in the West and is not open to the public.
[1][2][8] The Congregation B'nai Israel of Jackson erected the first synagogue in the mining districts in Jackson in September 1857 called Pioneer Jewish Synagogue, but it was only used for high holiday services.
[10] After 1868 the synagogue building was used for secular purposes, until 1869, when they moved the congregation to the larger Masonic Hall was used to accommodate their growth.
