Here lies Malcha daughter of Mr. Shelomo Zalman died 19 Iyar 5664 [4 May 1904]
A source of water will pour from our eyes
for the crisis that happened to us, the crown of our heads has fallen
she is our mother the housewife
our souls will cry in secret
our ship lost its captain
extended her hand to the poor and to the needy
her light will not go out at night
the good deeds that she performed
will speak in favor of her soul
Translated by Mages (smages@comcast.net)
