    Maha,

    this particular cemetery is near Ashrafiyyeh, but access is restricted. You can search the internet for pictures, there are many including some on our site.

    I think the Jewish Cemetary in the Sodeco area, next to the Protestant cemetery. Apparenly there are other jewish cemeteries in Lebanon in the Chouf area.

    By the way, the link to the video is not working. Do you know if it has been updloaded on Youtube.

    Ramzi, check your settings it’s working fine. It requires Quicktime in case that applies to you. Also, there are many scattered across Lebanon, there is a big one also in Saida.

    The one in Saida was cleaned a while back, the dust and dirt were cleaned off the stones, etc.
