Description: "Congregation Shaare Zedek was founded on Manhattan’s Lower East Side in 1837. In the middle of the 19th century, Shaare Zedek acquired land in Ozone Park, Queens where it established Bayside Cemetery. Over the ensuing decades, and particularly during the massive waves of Jewish immigration into New York around the turn of the 20th century, Shaare Zedek sold the exclusive burial rights in the overwhelming majority of the cemetery’s land to approximately a hundred different burial societies, fraternal organizations, synagogues and other communal groups, with the purchasing organization undertaking a contractual obligation to maintain its area."
