Other Notes:
[N3] The term 'kosher' implies that she kept an orthodox-Jewish household.
[N3-4] The phrase מנשים באהל תבורך – 'of women (who dwell) in tents most blessed' [Judges 5:24], is often encountered on female gravestones. These words of praise are totally removed from their biblical context, which refers to the heroine Yael bravely killing the enemy general Sisera by driving a tent peg through his temple as he sleeps.
[N5] Shmuel שמואל appears here with a ligatured אל ─ these two letter are coalesced into one, in order to avoid inscribing this divine name.
See About Dobromyl for an index to headstone locations in the Wall of Memory.
Stone is recorded as Grounded because it is fixed in the Wall of Memory.
