our father, the crowning glory of our heads

Respected and favoured

Distinguished in Torah, and G-d fearing

AVRAHAM YEHUDA

son of Reb Yaakov

He passed away 18 Adar I 5684

May his soul be bound up on the bond of life
--------------------------------------------------
Yehuda is Judah. Note that it is spelled here using Yiddish spelling conventions, rather than Hebrew.

'Reb' is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi.

Yaakov is Jacob.

He passed away in the month of Adar I. During a Jewish leap year, the standard twelfth month, Adar, is replaced with two months, Adar I and Adar II.
