In honor of Jewish Homesteaders Day in North Dakota on May 21, a Beth Itzchock cemetery re-dedication ceremony was held at the Jewish Cemetery, north of Ashley.

More than 100 descendants and interested citizens attended the "Honoring their Page in America’s History" program, including local Cemetery Board members Rebecca Bender, Stuart Kaufma and Rabbi John-Jay Tilsen; Jerry Klinger of the American Jewish Society for Historic Preservation; North Dakota State University professor Tom Isern and Rabbi Yonah Grossman.
