 Reno’s Hebrew Cemetery and Jews in Northern Nevada\n			\n			This 
 presentation looks at the early days of Jewish presence in Nevada and the 
 need to establish cemeteries for their population. The Comstock brought 
 Jews to Nevada—engineers\, storekeepers\, traders\, doctors\, 
 journalists\, lawyers and of course\, fortune seekers. While the Jewish 
 population didn’t exceed one percent of the population\, after the 
 Comstock\, the majority of Carson City and Reno dry goods shops were 
 operated by Jews. It was a priority for early Jewish settlers to establish 
 a cemetery. Reno’s Hebrew cemetery was begun in 1875 and follows Jewish 
 customs. It is the only entirely Jewish cemetery in Nevada.\n			\n			Sharon 
 Honig-Bear is a HRPS Board member\, Tour Guide and a Past President of HRPS 
 as well as a past Chair of the City of Reno Arts & Culture 
 Commission.\n\n			All of our virtual events are shared on Facebook\, and 
 are archived on the Library website\, and YouTube.\n			\n		\n	\n
