Sławek Pastuszka directed us to this headstone in Zory, for David Deutsch (1810-1873), who was the rabbi in Myslowitz and Sohrau. I would appreciate a translation of the inscription if anyone can help. I understand it may be a little difficult to read. (Sławek restored this headstone last year. David's wife Jettel Weissler Deutsch is also in the cemetery, but her headstone is broken and awaits restoration.) Thank you.
// Update 1 Feb 2026 //
I understand there is a transcription of the headstone in a work about David Deutsch written in 1902. I'm confident this headstone is Deutsch's (but a confirmation would be appreciated).

On the Loop it has in the middle "David"
underneath it has the surname, it is hard to read due to the marks but it looks like "...ash". It definitely could be Deutsch. It is the right length of a surname to be so.

The first part says "David was maskil [learned/intellectual] in all ... " Very much indicative of a rabbi among other things
