The Nantucket Jewish Cemetery at Prospect Hill Welcome Welcome to the Nantucket Jewish Cemetery a sacred and peaceful spot on Nantucket that many of us have chosen for our permanent resting place. The Nantucket Jewish Cemetery Association a 501c13 nonprofit organization was incorporated in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1987 to provide for the availability operation maintenance and improvement of gravesites for the burial of people of the Jewish faith in Nantucket. Thanks to the tireless leadership of the late Milton Zlotin and Eugene Ratner a portion of land in the Lewis Memorial Section of Prospect Hill Cemetery was set aside and designated for Jewish burial practices. The area is bordered by a privet fence that serves to define it as consecrated in accordance with Jewish law.
