Natalie Wilson, research associate at Ohio University’s Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs, recently wrote an article for Ohio Township News about Jewish burial in Southeast Ohio.
The article features information from a presentation made to the Southeast Ohio Natural Burial Working Group (SONBWG) by Dr. Alfred Weiner. A member of the SONBWG, Wilson works to educate and make natural burial an option for those around Athens County. Noting the similarities between natural burial and Jewish burial, Weiner, a clinical psychologist in Athens, agreed to give a presentation on the history of Jewish burial in Southeast Ohio.
