1.THERE IS NO SIGN AND NO MARKER. The cemetery is flat, on the edge of the town along Arany János utca in the direction of Bodrogolaszi, behind a masonry wall. The gate is unlocked and anyone may go in — the difficulty is finding it, not entering it.
2.It was opened at the end of the seventeen hundreds and the last burial was in 1950. Of its few hundred matzevos, something between a quarter and a half are down or broken.
3.The survey names three rabbonim buried here, but only in Hungarianised spellings that cannot be turned back into their Hebrew names with any confidence, so this listing does not print them. Somebody who can read the stones would settle it in an afternoon.
4.Sárospatak sits between Ijhel and the Tokaj towns, so it is nearly always part of a longer route rather than a journey of its own.
