An acrostic poem spelling the name of the deceased Rivka Rachel.
[The upper section is missing]….. guided her sons to be honest, they will carry with lamentation for this crisis,
death snatched her and she was led to a grave, bitterness met us, her
sons are shouting, was merciful to the poor and fed them from her bread, opened her home to wise students. Translated by Sara Mages (smages@comcast.net)
