Committee of the Month: Cemetery Committee
Here's your "Cemetery Quiz" for the month:
I )Who was Lou Pollack and why is our cemetery named after him?
2)Who was the first person buried at the cemetery?
3)What was Beth Israel's fonner name?
ln the early 1900's. as many of us know. many people, including many Jews.
came to Asheville for reasons ofhe:llth. Although many recovered, some did
not. Among those who died were Jewish people who did not have friends,
relatives, or funds to provide for appropriate Jewish funerals. The West
Asheville Hebrew Cemetery Association was created to provide free funeral
services, burial, tombstones, and landscaping for these people. The founders of
this organization and the Mount Sinai Jewish Cemetery included nine local men:
Lou Pollack (the grandfather of Ken Michalove), D. S. Schandler (Dr. Joe
Schan dier and Rutl1 Fox's father}, Sender Argintnr, B. Pearlman, S. Finestein,
Isaac Michalove (Dr. Paul Michalove's grandfather's brother), S. W. Silvem1an,
H. L. Finkelstein (now a resident ofThe Swnmit), Rabbi Elias Fox (affiliated
with Bikur Cholim Synagogue).

make man before woman?"
