You are a crescent of a valued ancestry and
with his fury he cut off a branch from there, her soul returned
to the Lord after a long illness, in the precious Sabbath she rebuked the reading of curses,    
the most splendid woman, wise with a good mind,  
learnt all the proper manners at her father’s home,
was merciful, charitable and generous,  
cared for poor women in confinement and gave them help,
all of her desire was to plant
piety, love to the Torah, wisdom and knowledge in the hearts of her offspring.
