Chesed Shel Emes Society of St. Paul is the burial society for Chesed Shel Emes Cemetery. Founded in 1912, we are a non-profit organization providing traditional interment to the Jewish Community. Please see our website for more information.
The Chesed Shel Emes Cemetery of Saint Paul has faithfully served our Jewish Community since its inception in 1912. Born out of a vision, inspired by chesed and tzedakah, a determined group of Jewish immigrants set about to provide a dignified place of rest for those who lacked the financial means to obtain congregational synagogue membership, or who could not otherwise afford a proper traditional burial.
Over the intervening decades the Chesed Shel Emes Society has lovingly carried forward the original mission of its founders: traditional Jewish burial based on the teachings of Torah. With help from our members, and wise guidance from our governing board, Chesed Shel Emes remains an important institution in our Jewish Community, upholding meaningful tradition.
Whether one is observant or secular, we are here to serve our Jewish family.
Chesed Shel Emes Society of St. Paul is a 501(c)(3) exempt, Non-Profit Organization, unaffiliated and independent from any synagogue or temple, open to all streams of Jewish expression. We welcome your tzedakah.
