Dolphins Barn Jewish Cemetery

Dolphins Barn Jewish Cemetery (Irish: Reilig Ghiúdach an Charnáin) was established in 1898 by Robert Bradlaw^[1] a dentist and prominent member of Dublin's Jewish community who raised £300 in donations to set up a new chevra kadisha.^[2] and the Dublin Jewish Holy Burial Society (HBS), founded in 1884^[3] and dedicated to financier and philanthropist Sir Moses Montefiore. It replaced Ballybough Cemetery, Fairview, as the principal Jewish cemetery in Dublin, and close to the south circular road area, where a large number of jews lived. There is also a prayer room on the site.^[4] With Dolphins barn being the Orthodox cemetery, there is also a Progressive Jewish Cemetery, Woodtown Cemetery, on Oldcourt Road, Rathfarnham, established in 1952.^[5]
