    פ”נ
    הרב משה בהרב הגאון ר’ יצחק ז”ל
    אבינו היקר
    נפטר י”א תשרי שנת תרס”ט
    משה עלה אל האלוקים בשמים
    בן ע”ה שנה שבק לכל חי חיים
    יחד יבכיון יודעי ערכו
    צעקה ירימו מביני תום דרכו
    חובב תורה אוהב צדק ומישרים
    קדוש בדרכיו פעליו יקרים
    זה לו מורשה מאביו גאון ישראל
    מחרת יוכ”פ הלך דרך בית א-ל
    ת’ נ’ צ’ ב’ ה’
    HARRISON

    The Matzeiva is wrong, the death certificate is from 9/26/1909 which is י”א תשרי תר”ע, it was common to put up the Matzeiva a few years later and mistakes happened.

    אביו היה הגאון רבי יצחק ששימש כרב בעיר פומפיאן בליטא ובסו”י עלה לארה”ק, בן נוסף לר’ יצחק מפומפיאן היה ר’ יוסף זונדל אב”ד קראק ויאנאווא מח”ס זיר יצחק:

    Rav Harrison’s brother Rav Yosef Zundel was not Rav in Kraków, Poland but rather in a small Shtetl in Lithuania named Krakės.

    “Rabbi Yosef-Zundel Birzher was also rabbi of Krok but the time of his rabbinate is unclear.”
