Translation

Here lies buried|O you afflicted, tossed with tempest* on the day of war|She died as a sacrificial offering, and unpitied **|All who know her rise lamenting|[The citrus changes in the spring to life]|Alas the woman|An endearing spirit, You seek out those falling from power ***|Let us rejoice for the purity of her hand and contrite heart|On the 14th day of the month of Tamuz 5701 (1941)|May her soul be bound in the bonds of life|* Isaih 54:11 O you afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with fair colors, and lay your foundations with sapphires. JPS, Tanakh: Holy Scriptures|** Hosea 1:6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And God said to him, Call her name Unpitied, (Lo-Ruhamah); for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will completely take them away.|*** Psalms 10:10 The helpless collapse; they bow down, and fall into his power.
