Re: [Cz-L] Gary Rogovin Sadagura Jewish cemetery tombstone lettering question

As far as I can remember, there was not one single tombstone with a Yiddish
text in the Sadagura Cemetery. Let's also make it clear regarding the Hebrew
inscriptions: most of the Jewish population in Sadagora did not speak our
modern Hebrew. What they did in writing, both for texts on tombstones and
for correspondence among rabbis, orthodox Jews and in many cases also for
commercial correspondence (like my paternal grandfather) was called "Loshen
Koidesh".
