Cemetery (literally "olamim" meaning eternities).

("I borrowed Rabbi Yoshia Rabbah at the cemetery of Dutzal, and he said to me: No row is less than ten people" – Sanhedrin 19a; and: "The heat pressed with the smell of jasmine / beyond the wall, our eyes saw / toppled mounds of a cemetery" – Lea Goldberg / Love Poems from an Ancient Book, 4; and: "There were empty shells that howled the mourning of the sea / and a cemetery on the hills / and two who passed silently / between the squill, the graves, and the sycamore" – Natan Yonatan / The Sand Remembers)
