Penang Jewish Cemetery Restoration

Dear Friends,

We are writing to you today to ask for your help in preserving a piece of history that is near and dear to our hearts. The Penang Jewish Cemetery is a unique and important piece of Malaysia's history. It is the final resting place of the once-thriving Jewish community in Peninsular Malaysia and has been the resting place for our community's ancestors for over a century. Unfortunately, the cemetery has fallen into disrepair and is in desperate need of restoration, maintenance, and protection.

As you may know, maintaining a cemetery from a distance is a costly endeavour, and we rely on the generosity of our community to keep it in good condition. Unfortunately, our funds are running low, and we need your help to ensure that this sacred place is preserved for future generations.

We are calling on all those who value history and heritage to help us raise funds for the restoration of the Penang Jewish Cemetery. The cemetery is a testament to the multiculturalism and diversity that makes Malaysia great, and it is our duty to preserve it for future generations.

Your donation, no matter how small, will go a long way in helping us maintain the cemetery's grounds, repair damaged headstones and surrounding walls, and preserve the history of our community and ensuring that the cemetery is properly maintained and protected. Your contribution will not only help us honour the memory of those who have passed, but it will also help us create a peaceful and beautiful space for visitors to reflect and pay their respects. With your help, we can ensure that this important piece of history is preserved for generations to come.

Please consider donating to the Penang Jewish Cemetery restoration fund. Your contribution will go directly towards the restoration and maintenance of the cemetery. The Penang Jewish Cemetery is a unique and important piece of the history of Jewry and a reflection of the diversity of Malaysia's past. Thank you for your support.

We understand that times are tough, and there are many worthy causes vying for your attention. However, we hope that you will consider supporting our efforts to preserve this important piece of our community's history. Every dollar counts.

Thank you for your consideration, and we hope that you will join us in our mission to preserve this important piece of our community's Jewish heritage.

Sincerely,

Members of the Penang Jewish Welfare Board
