Question to Jews (Translation)

[Marmot1]

I have found this grave stone on the excavation site in my city. Can someone help me with translation, what is written on it, any clue about it's age? I want to turn it to local museum but first I want to know as much as possible about it.

One question. Sorry for the Irrelevence:


Erm, what makes you think all Jews know Hebrew or that Non-Jews won't understand Hebrew? Don't you mean "Question For Hebrew-Speaking People"?

I asume it is old hebrew or ydish since this stone is probably from before WW2 or even older. Well I almost sure it is from before 1939. I know that polish language evolved a lot during this time and even for polish people it is sometimes hard to read 100years old polish texts, thus I assume only jews with good knowledge of language can help. But maybe I am wrong...

Have you ever known a Hebrew speaking non Jew? I sure haven't.

O..............K... can someone finally translate?

It says, "A Man that worshiped god
With many good ascents
Did for the poor with his good heart
Y'ishai Yenahem (I guess it's his name)."

You took the toombstone upside down . It reads :

"Man, fearfull (respectfull) of god
With good virtues
Charity maker with a kind heart"
The last line is kinda broken , I guess it's " Yeshay Menachem" ? (probably name ) .

Sorry I have found only those two pieces and amazingly they fited each other (they were found in two spearated points, I was sure lower part is missing but it seesm that upper one is missing..

Anyway thanks for translation. I will check tomorrow maybe I will find more pieces...

Man, I don't know what those guys are making up with their wildly inaccurate translations. I did an interweb translation, It says:


Don Grosfeld's Bagels
Today's special: 12 "everything" bagels, $1.25

Sale schmale, such prices every day!


Dang that is a bargain.

Erm, excuse me, but you are a moderator on this site? With a "sense of "humour" like that? And you wonder that people with something interesting to contribute are increasingly unwilling to post here? Sigh.
