Kelly Street Historic Jewish Cemeteries. In 1856, the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation was the first to be established in Indianapolis. Shortly thereafter, land was purchased on Kelly Street to serve as a cemetery for the congregation. In the 1880s, as more synagogues were established, the IHC sold land to various Jewish congregations for use as burial grounds. Today, there are eight separate burial grounds that make up the south side Jewish cemeteries. I visited the cemetery in July. It is across the street from Holy Cross and St. Joseph Cemetery. I have pictures in my folder that need to be attributed here.
