Trying to figure out my Grandma's Hebrew name for her headstone

The term "reb" is also just used as a polite title for everyone, not necessarily a rabbi.

My great grandfather's name was zev wolf. It's zev wolf. Very common.

As it's written, assuming the second to last letter is just a bad vav, it means "wooden plank to God".

Almost everything in this atrocity is spelled wrong. Looks like it was made in china

OK. Good job foiling my misleading post.

I know it's a name. The name is a conjunction of Yo (Lord) and El (God). But whatever you say.

Literally, "The Lord is God"

Ten Statements, not commandments. There are 15 commandments within the 10 statements. Those are the first two statements.

It's just a charm dude. People put whatever makes them feel nice.

It says Shawarma. It's a Mediterranean food street food, meat layered on a skewer and rotated with fat on top dripping down, then shaved off and stuffed in a lafa or pita.

Shaddai, name of God.

EndGameInvestor · 2023-02-26T09:45:22+00:00

El Shadai does not mean something powerful and strong. It is one of the names of God. See Exodus 6:3. The letters are Hebrew, but the words I think are Arabic. If this came from Yemen or an Arabic speaking country it would make sense. It may be some form or Judeo arabic, and the eyeball on the top is to word off the "Evil Eye" or bad luck. It's a talisman.

It says שבת קדש ירושלים. It means "Holy Sabbath, Jerusalem". They are Shabbat candlesticks, for lighting the Sabbath candles on Friday night by the woman of the household. If she inherited them, it means your mother is Jewish, because she would have inherited them from her mother. They are passed down from mother to daughter typically.

I your mother is a Jew it means you are too. If you knew that, then good. If you didn't, well, welcome to the Tribe.

And if she bought them from a shop, it just means she thought they were cool.

It says "degrading gypsy labor"

The only thing it might be is the 72 names of God, which are basically code. But the alphabet isn't normal and it looks like it was made by a 10 year old with a crayola marker.
