תרסד

צל מות במערה

בתינו בא בגערה

ידעיו יבכו מרה

בניו יוספו קינה

אשרו ותמימתו

זיו נזרו ועטרתו

עני ודל בנדבתו

לתת להם חנינה

ידידת בני עמתו

גדל מאד אהבתו

מ צבי הירש בהמ

אשר זעליג הלוי

נ כא סיוון תנצבה

English translation of epitaph: 

 

(5)664

Shadow of death in a cave

Our house was plunged in grief,

Those who know him will bitterly cry,

His sons will add lamentation,

His happiness and his innocence,

Brightness of his wreath and crown

Poor about his charity

To give them mercy

Love of friends has been immeasurable

Mr Tzvi Hirsh, son of Mr.

Asher Zelig Halevi

He passed away on 21 of Sivan

May his soul be bound in the bundle of life
