An acrostic poem spelling the name of the deceased Mordechai ? Mordechai, you were upright, honest and God-fearing, you earned a lot of kindness for yourself in the next world, you demanded only the best for your community during your life, you truly respected those who studied the Torah, you valued the wise and the student, you were first to give charity and perform good deeds, your home was opened to the poor and the needy, you gave a helping hand to those who asked, you were respected by your community all the time, you were a glorious father all of your days….[the remainder is obstructed by vegetation] Translated by (smages@comcast.net)
