Jewish Funerary Art Jewish cemetery in Micăsasa, Romania
The village of Micăsasa was home for a very small Jewish community, which numbered 26 Jews in 1900 and 32 in 1910.[1]
The Jewish cemetery of the village Micăsasa is situated next to the Christian cemetery, but the access to it is through a private house. 28 tombstones are fully or partially preserved, all made of sandstone. Those legible were erected in the 1920s-1930s and have only traditional Hebrew epitaphs. This fact points to the very low level of acculturation and a high level of fidelity to the Jewish tradition in this small rural community.
