In the heart of the sugar-producing regions of central Westmoreland is the community of Petersfield, a no-frills one-street rural town that is home to many of the workers of the Frome Sugar Estate. Petersfield is one of the older townships on the island; in fact, it was incorporated as early as the late 17th century as a dormitory community for estate workers on the nearby Roaring River Estate. > Learn More

Christians and Jews unite:
Myer Lyon (leoni) came to Jamaica in 1789 and became the finest cantor in the synagogue then located at the corner of Barry and Orange Streets in Kingston. He adapted the Slavic melody to the ancient Hebrew Hymn text "Yigdal" which is a standard in most Ashkenazi synagogues. He wrote the hymn "The God of Abraham Praise" which became a standard in many Christian churches. He is buried in the old Jewish cemetery on Elletson Road near Windward Road in Kingston
