The Maimonides Jewish Student Association of the Lincoln Memorial University DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine will hold a re-dedication of the Middlesboro (Kentucky) Jewish Cemetery on Wednesday, June 8 at 2 p.m. 

       Over the past year, students Troy Fuller, Jarrod Walerstein, and Jordan Miller (and Jordan's mother, Julie Kogen) have worked with LMU-DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine faculty Howard Teitelbaum and Ronald Dubin to make needed repairs to the cemetery. In appreciation of these achievements, a celebration and commemoration will be held to acknowledge the work of the MJA association and the partnership they have created with the Trustees of the cemetery who represent the families of those whose loved ones, of blessed memory, rest in this sacred hillside at the foothills of the Cumberlands.
