The final resting place of the members of the Bardejov Jewish community is located on Ľudovít Štúr Street. The cemetery consists mainly of a grassy area of 654 m², on which there are 1,288 graves from the 18th to the 20th century. The oldest part of the cemetery is situated in the north near the course of a small stream. The rows of graves for women and men are separate. The tombstones are mainly made of sandstone, most of them ending in a semicircular shape. Under the influence of time, many inscriptions have become almost illegible. The most prominent feature of this cemetery was the colourful gravestones - alternating yellow, green, blue, red, red-blue, red-white, yellow-blue and others. For the rabbis, the custom was to use black with gold, yellow or yellow-green writing. The multi-coloured appearance of the cemetery was unique and was influenced by the Halych cultural circle. According to all indications, this method of decoration was introduced by members of the Halberstamm rabbinical dynasty, who came from the Polish town of Nowy Sącz. Ornamental and sculptural decorations of stones in the form of symbolic animal motifs (lions, deer, birds, unicorns), crowns and candlesticks were also once colourful. On younger tombstones, the motif of the sad willow and the Star of David appears predominantly. In the middle of the cemetery is a small brick building (Hebrew: ohel) in which Rabbi Moshe (1848-1903), his wife Rachel Fajga, and their son Rabbi Yechiel Natan (1866-1934) Halberstamm are buried.
