Directions to Kever: The Gomel Chesed Cemetery located on the Newark / Elizabeth boarded can be dangerous, use caution when visiting!!! Although it is in much better condition than the cemeteries on Grove Street, the surrounding areas have long past their prime, visiting as a group or waiting until Annual Newark Cemetery Visiting Day in September is strongly recommended. Should an Emergency arise call 911. Location: See map
