Tombstone of Israel Sharvit
The burial tombstone of an upright and straightforward man, he feared God and turned away from evil, who walked in purity and dealt justly, humbly he entered and humbly he departed and never did he take credit for himself, a lover of righteousness, the honored and distinguished, the late Israel Sharvit, who passed on to his world on the 5th day of Av (may God turn it to rejoicing), in the year 5620 (1860), and a Jewish life has departed. May his soul be bound in the bonds of life.
