Since ancient times among the Jewish people there has been an opinion that the cemetery must necessarily be separated from the settlement itself. It could be a moat, a river or a hill. A new Jewish cemetery in the town of Shargorod, Vinnytsia region, is located on a small hill and is separated from the town by the Kolbasnaya River.

The cemetery is now open for burials. It is divided into sections, the oldest of which date back to the late XIX - early XXI centuries. The cemetery has its fence and is guarded day and night. The cemetery is small - on the south side it has a length of 86 meters, from the north - 106 meters, and its total length is approximately 120 meters. The total area of burials is 1.2 hectares. All gravestones are turned face west.

The approximate number of burials in the cemetery is 8-10 thousand graves, but the exact number cannot be determined at the moment, because most of the burials have been lost in tall, dense bushes, and the other part has been destroyed under the influence of time. Most tombstones are the dates of the XIX century. One of the oldest graves is considered to be a grave, dated 1763 year. This burial was discovered by an expedition headed by a scientist I. Dvorkin. Another, even older burial was founded by students of the Faculty of Small and dated 1740. However, this date is doubtful and requires additional research, because the style of execution of the tombstone corresponds to the style of the XIX century.

The fact that the graves with dates relating to the next century were found in the new cemetery only says that they were buried in Shargorod right in two cemeteries (in the old burial ground they date back to the 15th-18th centuries).

Now the old part of the cemetery looks abandoned and requires a global cleaning and restoration; on the new part of the necropolis, burials still continue.
