Mikveh Israel Cemetery is the oldest Jewish cemetery in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, giving evidence of a settled community as early as 1740. A number of outstanding patriots, pioneers, and other notables of the Jewish faith who made important contributions to the history and freedom of America during the Colonial and Revolutionary period were interred here, and for this reason, in 1959, by an act of Congress, the burial ground was designated as a unit of the Independence National Historical Park, while continuing to be maintained by the sponsoring Congregation Mikveh Israel. The cemetery was certified by the Philadelphia Historical Commission, and in 1971, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

dbo:abstract
  • Le cimetière Mikveh Israel est le plus ancien cimetière juif de Philadelphie (Pennsylvanie) et l'un des plus vieux du territoire des États-Unis après le Second cimetière de la à New York. Le terrain qui mesure seulement 810 m² est un site historique classé administré par le Independence National Historical Park (bien que les dépenses liées à l'entretien soient à la charge de la congrégation Mikveh Israel). Il est situé dans le centre-ville de Philadelphie sur Spruce Street, à côté de la 8e rue à proximité de Independence Hall. Ce cimetière servit à l'origine de lieu de sépulture pour la famille de Nathan Levy dont on a longtemps affirmé que son bateau avait servi pour transporter la Liberty Bell de l'Angleterre à Philadelphie. Il acheta le terrain en 1738, l'étendit puis en fit don en 1765 à la communauté sépharade Mikveh Israel fondée en 1740 et toujours active de nos jours. on cessa de procéder à des enterrements dans le cimetière à partir de 1886 sauf à trois rares exceptions en 1913, 1966 et en 1972 pour des personnalités de la communauté.
