An acrostic poem spelling the name of the deceased Chana [Hannah] daughter of Yisrael Tzvi
of blessed memory -
With a woman’s wisdom she built her home, was known by the gates and her
husband was one of the righteous of the land, the a pious rabbi Rabbi Elimelch
May the memory of the righteous be of a blessing in the world to come, she died at the
age of 92 years, was charitable during her life, extended her hand to the poor
and was kind……has done a lot during her youth but during her old age was
a merciful mother to her sons and her daughter, sought righteousness and
benevolence all of her days and her place will be between the four mothers….
[the remainder is illegible] Translated by Mages (smages@comcast.net)
