Headstone

Here
Lies buried Isaac
Yosef may his memory be for
blessing
A sea of tears pours forth - woe alas orphans
His beauty glorified woe alas his grave is found here
His life has come to an end
But his spirit shall be found in the upper reaches
Their lamentations abundant; [meaning unclear]
He has departed in the year 5648 (1888) on the
10th day of the month of Shevat
May his soul be bound in the bounds life
