The Beth El Congregation "must have had an arrangement with the Beth El Jacob Congregation to bury its dead on their cemetery. It is not unlikely that this arrangement involved outright purchases of cemetery plots since we find several Beth El members being buried on the Beth El Jacob cemetery on McGowen Road even after its own cemetery in Bethlehem was being used.65 Among the early burials on the Beth El Jacob cemetery was one of the founders and first president of Beth El, namely Mayer Rais."
