Tonight: Yartzeit of The Tzadik of Freehold

 Tonight/tomorrow 7 Shevat is the 100th  Yartzeit of Rabbi Avroham Yitzchok Klugman known as the Tzadik of Freehold.  Arrangements were made for the cemetery to be open throughout the night and day with a minyan maariv followed by a fatbrengen at 8:30 pm

Hebrew Cemetery in Freehold, New Jersey is located along NJ-33 Business (which is a split-off of Rt-33) right before Cardigan Bay Lane behind the Freehold Raceway Mall. (Kevarim)

A plaque by the cemetery reads:

in the early 1920’s, a visiting religious jew, avrohom itzhok klugman was accidentally killed as he walked along the railroad tracks. since no one knew of his origin, he was brought to freehold for burial. both the freehold hebrew benefit society and the workmen’s circle sought the honor of burying this holy man. after much discussion, the solution was to have him buried on the dividing line, with his head in the society’s section and his feet in the workmen’s circle section
