    It looks like you are one step closer to locating the grave.

  • 2 Brisker // Jan 20, 2009 at 10:14 pm

    Were you able to confirm with the cemetery?

  • 3 Baruch A // Jan 20, 2009 at 10:15 pm

    This is basically what the matzeiva reads

    ציון לנפש חיה
    פ”נ
    נזר ראשינו אבינו היקר
    ר’ שכנא בר יצחק זצ”ל
    נולד ביום ז’ כסליו
    שנת תקע”ו בעיר
    לובאווע במדינת פוילען
    נשמתו הטהורה
    (it might be that there’s a word missing here)
    I couldn’t read 2 words on this line before the word פתאום
    בבית התפלה אור ליום
    ט’ ניסן תרמ”ז
    תנצב”ה

    Now Benhurachmon here http://ivelt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=385708#p385708 did a better job.

    נזר ראשינו אבינו היקר
    ר’ שכנא ב”ר יצחק
    זצ”ל נולד ביום ז’ כסליו
    שנת תקע”ג בעיר
    לאבאווע במדינת פולין
    ונשמתו הטהורה
    שבה למרום פתאום
    בבית התפלה אור ליום
    ט’ ניסן תרמ”ז
    ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

    The new Matzeva is totally unreadable and a whole big mistake.

    Here is what I transcribed from the old Matzeva:
    ציון לנפש חיה
    פ”נ
    נזר ראשינו אבינו היקר
    ר’ שכנא ב”ר יצחק
    זצ”ל נולד ביום ז’ כסליו
    שנת תקע”ג בעיר
    לאבאווע במדינת פולין
    ונשמתו הטהורה
    שבה למרום פתאום
    בבית התפלה אור ליום
    ט’ ניסן תרמ”ז
    ת.נ.צ.ב.ה.

    Sorry for the double post, I had this page open and didn’t refreshed to see the new comments

  • 16 asher // Dec 16, 2010 at 8:17 pm

    Is this new marker for real…? Where did you get this picture from? it doesn’t add up at all. Talk about Noach with 7 mistakes…
