Adath Jeshurun Cemetery
Louisville, Jefferson County, Kentucky, USA
Four of the five Jewish cemeteries in Louisville are in what is basically a cemetery complex off Preston Highway. Traveling south from downtown on Preston, the first entry point would be The Temple Cemetery, the middle entryway leads to Keneseth Israel, and the last entry point off Preston is Adath Jeshurun (the entry to Anshei Sfard is off Locust Lane, around the corner). (Agudath Achim is across Preston Highway from the "cemetery complex").
Adath Jeshurun's cemetery was originally located at 316 Woodbine. In 1955, the Woodbine cemetery was taken for the building of an expressway, and the graves were moved to the current cemetery location.
For the most part, Adath Jeshurun is self-contained. However, directly behind Section C is a section of Keneseth Israel (Section Z). This can be confusing, because that section is totally separate from the rest of Keneseth Israel, and it is possible to believe that it is part of Adath Jeshurun. Adath Jeshurun's Section C ends at a concrete block building next to the fence. From there back, it is Keneseth Israel. Based on its position, you may think that a grave is in one cemetery when it is actually in the other. If you do not see someone in either cemetery's listing, please check the listing for the other cemetery.
