A perfect of virtues. An aged person head of a Yeshivah.
Three communities. To be judged with calm contemplation.
He humbly suffered the diseases. His work was delicious oil.
Crowned with praises. Extinguished light of Israel.
Astute in discovering. Moist ginger.
Humble with words before the Eternal. Family Neumark.
The genius, Model of the generation, Chief Rabbi and Head of Yeshivah
Rabbi Meshulem Zalman son of Rabbi
