SARAH FAYGA daughter of Reb Tzvi Hirsch

18 Iyar 5724

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

Her father had a common two-part Hebrew name, with Tzvi being Hebrew, Hirsch being Yiddish, and both names meaning deer.

7/14/2021 4:42 PM Hello Gregory,

The date of 18th of Iyar, followed by the year, is the Hebrew date on which she died.

Jo
