The Jewish Cemetery of Vishki.Latvia.May 2008
from Christine Usdin on Vimeo.

Klaus Peter Rex,a german priest, was in Vishki last july with a group of young people to restore the Jewish cemetery. He said " We have cut the grass on whole cemetary, pull out the small vergetation, cut some (ill) trees. We try to find stones under the ground (and we are sucessful), we erect some stones, which fell down, we make a map, documentate every stone, make the inscriptions visible with foam or crayon. I enclose the report (diary) of the works, but is written in German. Now we try to translate and afterwards we will make a list. To read in german the diary click here |

The phrase "A perfect man of integrity, Our rabbi and teacher " is meaningless when it appears on a tombstone, since it appears on most tombstones of males. It does not indicate that the deceased was unusually righteous or a great rabbi, though he might have been.(Schlomo Katz)
The hands with the spreadt fingers means that this person is a cohan (tribe of Cohan i.e. priests.... descendents of Aaron the brother of Moses). The spread finger hand was used when the Cohanim blessed the congregation. Cohans were restricted from going to cemeteries with the exception of the burials of their parents, children, brothers and unmarried sisters.
