Step inside a remarkable piece of Charleston history during a special Open House at KKBE’s Historic Coming Street Cemetery on Sunday, June 14 from 1:00–3:00pm.

Usually accessible only by private tour, the Coming Street Cemetery (190–195 Coming Street) was established in 1762 and is the oldest surviving Jewish cemetery in the South. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the cemetery offers a unique glimpse into centuries of Jewish life in Charleston — a place where our community’s roots remain firmly in the ground.

Visitors are invited to explore the grounds, learn about the cemetery’s history, and experience this sacred and historic space firsthand as we reflect on the generations who helped shape Jewish life in the Lowcountry.

Last night, our congregation came together to celebrate something truly special — 15 years of Rabbi Alexander’s extraordinary leadership at Kahal Kadosh Beth Elohim.

The evening was everything we hoped it would be: meaningful, joyful, and filled with the music that makes moments like this unforgettable. We laughed, we kvelled, and we raised tens of thousands of dollars for KKBE’s Rabbinic Endowment Fund — an investment in the future of Jewish leadership and learning at our congregation for generations to come.

Rabbi Alexander, your wisdom, warmth, and vision have shaped this community in ways we are only beginning to fully understand. Here’s to the next chapter — and to the countless blessings still ahead.

Thank you to everyone who attended, donated, performed, and helped make this evening shine! ...
