Dolphins Barn Jewish Cemetery was established in 1898 by Robert Bradlaw [1] a dentist and prominent member of Dublin's Jewish community who raised £300 in donations to set up a new chevra kadisha. [2] and the Dublin Jewish Holy Burial Society (HBS), founded in 1884 [3] and dedicated to financier and philanthropist Sir Moses Montefiore.
