The B’nai Israel Jewish Orthodox Cemetery is located in the Brownsville community on West Strong Street, between “Q” and “R” Streets, one block north of Cervantes Street. It is in back of the Temple Beth-el Cemetery (on Cervantes Street). The first burial was in 1922.

Directions: From Palafox and Garden Streets, drive west on Garden Street. Turn right onto Pace Boulevard to Cervantes Street and turn left. Turn right on “R” Street and drive one block to Strong Street.

The cemetery was surveyed about 1986 by members of the West Florida Genealogical Society (WFGS). The results of the survey have not been published, but are posted on the Escambia County USGenWeb with permission of the WFGS Board of Directors.

Please send corrections or additions to Evan Strohl, WFGS Chairman, Cemetery Committee, or the Webmaster.
