Here lies the honored Avraham Pinchas son of Yakov Bonem Rubenstein. The next line may be his date of death on the Hebrew calendar, but I'm not sure.

Here lies

Reb Avraham Pinchas son of Reb

Yaakov Bunem Rubinshtein

1 Rosh Chodesh Sivan 5681. May his soul be bound up in the bond of life.
-------------------------------------------------
'Reb' is an honorific; it does not mean rabbi.

Pinchas is a Biblical name. Yaakov is the Hebrew name of the Patriarch Jacob (and may have been the father's secular name). Bunem is a Yiddish name.

'Rosh Chodesh', literally the "head of the month", also known as the 'New Moon', marks the start of a new Hebrew month. While sometimes a two-day event, in this case it was one day only, and coincided with the first day of the month of Sivan.
