Morris Moss bio needed

I happen to know he was a member of this congregation, and probably on the Building Committee; very interesting life/character, lost on the web on him here and there, more another time when I've got more energy; other members included the Oppenheimer brothers, Robert and David (Robert was Vancouver's first, no second, mayor...).Skookum1 (talk) 03:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Location of Victoria's Jewish Cemetery

The article describes the cemetery as being in the Cedar Hill neighborhood, but this is a confusion between the neighborhood as commonly understood and Cedar Hill Road, on which the cemetery is located. Victoria's neighborhoods are, of course, informal concepts without sharp boundaries, but I would say the cemetery is approximately at the junction of the Oaklands, Quadra, and Haultain neighborhoods. Definitely not Cedar Hill, which, as the Wikipedia article on it states, is actually a neighborhood in Saanich a few miles north of the cemetery.
