Other Notes:

[N] This gravestone was incorrectly combined with another fragment above when the Wall of Memory was constructed. The top part S16A is a fragment from a male grave, depicting a lion, with a פ נ abbreviation and nothing more. This part S16B belongs to a female grave depicting a candelabrum, with another פ נ abbreviation and its subsequent text. See the image in the gallery of the two gravestones together on the Wall.
[N2] The term 'kosher' implies that she kept an orthodox-Jewish household.
[N3] 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.
