"Here lies - [Š] her name awakens over her/ [Y] beautiful is her name and she was beautiful in her deeds/ [N] Her soul went to live in holiness/ [H] heavenwards it flew at the end of the month;/ [R] many she planted in the field of Sharon(?)/ [B] in a good name she was separated from the living/ [Q] the assembly of her deeds are gathered for a memorial/ [H] (though) she was barren, she bore ‘sons’ for heaven. Behold, it is the woman, the married/ Sheinah Rivqeh/ daughter of Reb Mordechai Szczupak. She died 9th Tamuz 5670./ May her soul be bound in the bond of everlasting life." Translated by Dr. Heidi M. Szpek, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Dept. of Philosophy, Central Washington University, Ellensburg, WA 98926 (szpekh@cwu.edu)
