Sanhedria Cemetery

Sanhedria Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Sanhedria, located at the intersection of Levi Eshkol Boulevard, Shmuel HaNavi Street, and Bar-Ilan Street.

The Sanhedria Cemetery, unlike the Mount of Olives Cemetery and Har HaMenuchot Cemetery, which are located on the outer edges of the city, is located in the heart of western Jerusalem, near residential homes.
