Jezierzany Landsmanshaftn

Landsmanshaftn provided social and economic services and support for their members. Formed by immigrants who hailed from the same village or hometown, Landsmanshaftn were the most popular form of organization among Eastern European Jewish immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The First Jezierzany Sickness and Benevolant Society was organized in NYC in 1897 and as of a few years ago was still in existence. The secretary is Mrs. Paula Gold, 2509 E. 29 Street, Brooklyn, NY 11235. At this point, it mainly functions as a burial society.

There are Jezierzany plots in three NY cemeteries -Mt. Zion, Mt. Hebron and the most currant one, Beth David.
