Here lies Shalom Dawid son of Reb Yitzchak [Icek] Haim [Chaim] son of
the great righteous rabbi R’ Motil May the memory of the righteous be of a blessing head of the rabbinical court of the community of
Novorzhev. Carry in lamentation for the death of a lofty man, put nights like days
for the Torah. Woe! an honest upright righteous was lost, was humble and modest
all of his life, attached his soul to the righteous without a price and announced his departure, observed the truth and was engaged in trade, a son of
righteous and great in the Torah, his hands allotted charity to
the poor, his share is concealed among the genius, was 76 years old
when he rose to the heavens, died 20 Elul in the year of the troubles – 5696 (the letters of the Jews year were rearranged to create the word troubles) [7 September 1936] Translated by (smages@comcast.net)
