About Rabbi Rahamim Haim Yehuda Israel

Inscription on his tomb:

Rahamim Haim Yehuda Israel, 1892

Translation: Our crown has fallen, Woe what happened to us. Look passer-by because beneath me will rest a man, an offspring of holy rabbis and great sages in Israel. The holy rabbi the author of the book “Masat Moshe”, and his son the author of the book “Kol Eliyahu”, and his son the author of the book “Moshe Yidaber”, and his son the author of the book “Kol Yehudah” and his son the author of the book “Shenot Yemin”. May his merit protect us Amen and after him his son who is concealed here, the crown of our heads, our teacher and rabbi, the air that we breath, the community’s rabbi, his holy and glorious name is Rahamim Haim Yehuda Yisrael the author of the book “Ben-Yamin”. I became mute and I will not tell of his praise because he ordered so before his death. Oh!! We cannot replace him. And it came to pass when the coffin set forward [a quote from Numbers 10:35 - and it came to pass when the ark set forward]. They have made a noise in the house of God as in the day of a solemn meeting [Book of Lamentations 2:7] and bitter lamentation. And the night of observance [the first night of Passover – Exodus 12:42] turned into a night of crying, and all of the nation of Israel cried for him because he was a messenger from the heavens for the magnificent land of Israel. Born on 25 to the month of Tamuz 5575 [2 August 1815] and died on Tuesday the first night of Passover 5652 [15 Nisan – 12 April 1892] to the order – we became orphans and we do not have a father by the full era 5652 [the sum of the Hebrew letters is 52, by the full era - we add 5600 for the year 5652] You will sleep well and wake up mercifully during the days of the Messiah. [On the right side:] And my master’s soul will be bound in the bond of life. [On the left side:] Lord, hear the voice of Yehuda and bring him to his people [Deuteronomy 33:7]
