Over one year ago, the Providence Cemetery on North Main Avenue in Scranton, a Jewish Cemetery dating back to the early 1800's, was vandalized and had suffered severe damage, where many of the memorial stones were overturned and the security fence around the perimeter was seriously compromised. As a result, a resotration committee was formed by the Amos Lodge #136 chapter of B'nai B'rith, headed by Allan Davidson, Amos Lodge president (pictured right), and Robert Yanover, immediate past president, made it their mission to restore the dignified condition and structural integrity of the cemetery. With active technical and financial assistance from the Jewish Federation of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the mission was vigorously enjoined and "The Providence Cemetery Restoration Project" was set into motion.

Our purpose in creating this web page is:
1) To provide a photo gallery displaying the current, restored condition of the Providence Cemetery 2) To provide a current directory of names and dates of the deceased on the memorial stones, including the plot locations and 3) to provide a message board where concerned relatives can contact the Providence Cemetery Restoration Project for the purpose of getting information or just expressing a thought.
