Stories from Mount Sinai Cemetery
There are so many people buried at Mount Sinai and Smith Street Cemeteries whose stories are lost to time. Often, the only thing we have are their names and some dates. How wonderful it would be if we could collect some of their stories and photos! SMJCA will post a photo of a headstone and share what info we have about them. If you have a story, information or a photo, please share them with us.
 
Today we share the headstone of Etta D. Erlick who is buried in Mount Sinai Cemetery.  Click HERE to read more about Etta and her family.

Jacob Cousins Memorial
Unveiled in September 1935, the Jacob Cousins Memorial was part of an ongoing nationwide effort to highlight both the patriotism of Jewish Americans and their contribution during times of conflict. The memorial is a key artifact in the history of the Jewish community in southern Maine linking past to present and inspiring visitors to remember, respect and contemplate the cost of war. 
The memorial was significantly renovated with extensive bench seating for viewing it and Casco Bay. The restoration was officially opened on October 1, 2018. Shaarey Tphiloh is proud to be one of the community sponsors of this memorial. Friends of the Eastern Promenade is continuing to raise funds to cover the cost of the recent redesign of this historic landmark.
 
To donate to this important cause, visit here.

Sunday Simcha! - Listen to the archived programs online.
Hosts: Hillel, Barbara Merson, Natan Kahn, and Ben Naftali

Sunday Simcha  is the only Jewish music program in Maine and northern New England and one of only a handful of Jewish music radio shows in the United States. Shows are wildly eclectic—one of the few Jewish shows to feature modern, diverse, and cutting-edge recordings in addition to traditional music.


If you are interested in becoming a DJ, contact WMPG here.



Documenting Maine Jewry documents the history of Maine Jews and has wonderful archival materials online at mainejews.org.
