Crown of a good name
Here lies
R' Menahem Mendel ben
R' Avraham Zomerfleck
There in the heavenly abode
His pure soul ascended
He dealt faithfully [in business]
Walked innocently in God's path
Gave to the poor with an open hand
This he took with him
Loved by God and creation [means
"people"]
How his sons and daughters will
mourn for him
His bones will rest in clumps of
earth
His actions will be his testament
Died at eighty-two [maybe "in his
eighty-second year"]
Will come alive at the End of Days
