Here lies

LEAH YENTE daughter of Reb Meir

She passed away the 2nd day of Chanukah 5697

May her soul be bound up in the bond of life.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Leah [pronounced LAY-ah] is a Hebrew name; Yente is Yiddish.

‘Reb’ is an honorific; her father was not a rabbi. His name, Meir, which means ‘one who gives light’, is pronounced MAY-eer.

Rather than being given in the standard month-day-and-year format, the date of death is expressed in terms of the holiday with which it coincided. The holiday of Chanukah always begins on the 25th day of the month of Kislev. Thus, the second day corresponded to the 26th day of Kislev. In the year 5697, this day began at sunset on December 9th, 1936, and ended at sunset on the 10th.
