Once that was done, around about 20 of them went over to the Small/Stillborn Baby Section where they continued cleaning for another hour.

This section is regularly maintained by Bet David who were delighted to be joined by members of their sister congregations.

A record 44 big black bags were filled in just under an hour.

David Weber, general manager Burial Services at WPC, expressed his appreciation, on behalf of the Chevrah Kadisha, to the SAUPJ for assisting with the maintenance of the West Park Jewish Cemetery.
