  TRANSLATION

  Rabbi Zilberstein – Gravestone

  The famous genius Rabbi, the oldest Rabbi and president of the Rabbis,
  Rabbi Asher Zilberstein, ABD”K (=Av Beit Din of Kehilat) Los Angeles, son of the genius Rabbi R’ Israel Aaron Z”L (= Zichrono Levracha= may his memory be blessed), ABD”K Mezeritch.

  Line No 1 (Hebrew letter Alef): There are two parts, which practically mean the same – Our light came down
  Line No 2 (Hebrew letter Shin): The light of cleverness came down, great activities ended
  Line No 3 (Hebrew letter Reish): With his ways and activities he brought a lot of people to avoid from iniquities
  Line No 4 (Hebrew letter Zain): Gained and caused others to gain. With cleverness he trained his pupils
  Line No 5 (Hebrew letter Yod): He established Yeshivas, run them and nourished them with bravery
  Line No 6 (Hebrew letter Lamed): He studied and taught. He acted with loyalty and honesty.
  Line No 7 (Hebrew letter Bet): His home – a place for the clever people, a shelter for those who failed
  Line No 8 (Hebrew letter Reish): He was the first among great people who did for the public
  Line No 9 (Hebrew letter Shin): Improvement of the Holy Land was his main goal
  Line No 10 (Hebrew letter Tet): His taking care of its being built and getting strong
  Line No 11 (Hebrew letter Yod): He acted in any good thing for the Torah
  Line No 12 (Hebrew letter Yod): His activities for the Torah and its honour will be remembered forever
  Line No 13 (Hebrew letter Nun): His name will be remembered and mentioned in public

  He served as a Rabbi approximately 48 years (The letters are not very readable here, I hope it is indeed 48 years)

  He was a descendant of the MAHARSHA, the Zadik Rabbi R’ Aaron the Great from Karlin ZZ”L (Zecher Zadik Levracha= may the memory of the Zadik will be blessed) and the tenth generation in a dynasty of great Rabbis.

  He passed away on 14 Shvat 5733 (Hebrew date)

  An abbreviation for: May his soul rest in peace

  I grew up in Boyle Heights and attended his
  Temple, and the Talmud Torah. His sermons were all in Yiddish, and I could not understand them, since we were Orthodox but from Germany.
  Females could not study Rashi and Gemorrah, though I wanted to.

  I have a digital photo of Rebbetzin Chana Ruchel Zilbershtein’s matzeva . If I can read the date correctly she died in Winnipeg on the 12th of Tamuz, 5688 (June 30, 1928). Anyone wanting a photo of the matzeva can contact me at uy9p1@yahoo.com.
