I'm going to assume you mean the map which appears at openstreetmap.org. (is this correct?) >> I mapped the jewish cemetery in our town and realized, that it is drawn with >> crosses.

The issue has come up before. It's not impossible, but it's also not trivial. What would need to happen is for someone to create a new icon that would be usable in the map. Some have suggested a generic headstone, for example. But if we rendered a Jewish cemetery differently- what symbol do you think would be most appropriate? A Magen David? To support that, the religion would need to specified. This could be done (it's not impossible at all), just like it's done for place of worship: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Religion The issue, again, is that there would need to be some work done to make the various icons, and well as change the renderer. I know at least one other person was working on a generic gravestone symbol.
