Beth Haim 'The House of Life'
Welcome to the new website of Beth Haim, the Portuguese-Jewish cemetery in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel. The cemetery occupies an area of 4 hectares and dates from 1614. It is open to the public. The entrance is next to the Vegahuis - the caretaker’s house (1883) in Kerkstraat. The Rodeamentoshuis or House of Processions (1705) is situated in the cemetery close to the water-gate on the Bullewijk. The pictures below will give you a general impression.

Help Beth Haim!
We urgently need funds:
* to preserve the magnificent tombstones;
* to complete the restoration of the burial sites of the 2nd half of the 19th century;
* for yearly professional and intensive grounds maintenance.
