Jewish cemetery established on the so-called Jerusalem Hill in the 1830s. The oldest grave dates back to 1837. Jewish tombstones in Lyck/Elk were made of sandstone and marble. A chapel was also located there. 

In 1877, a funeral fraternity, Chevra Kadisha, was established in the Elk Jewish community.

Among those buried there were Rabbi Eliezer Lipman Silberman, as well as David Gordon - editors of "Hamagid".

The cemetery was destroyed during World War II.
