Woodtown Progressive Jewish Cemetery is a Jewish cemetery in Rathfarnham, County Dublin, Ireland. It was opened, in 1952, by the Dublin Jewish Progressive Congregation.[1][2]
The cemetery project was initiated after difficulties arose between the Progressive Jewish community in Dublin and other Jewish groups, and was driven by Bernard Spiro and others.[3]
The graveyard is in a treed area, and features one building, a small prayer house, on one wall of which is a memorial plaque to victims of The Holocaust.[3]
