Treasure Chest Tuesday: Rabbi Yitzchak ben Rabbi Yisrael, Labun Jewish Cemetery

In June of 2013 I had the pleasure of visiting Ukraine and Labun (now Yurovshchina; once called Lubin in Yiddish), my paternal grandparents' community. We were able to visit the old Jewish cemetery, which I discussed in an earlier post. Over the next several Tuesdays I will post photos and translations (as I am able to decipher) of tombstones from that cemetery. Most do not feature surnames.
 

Here lies

a simple [modest] man

honored teacher and rabbi

Yitzchak son of Rabbi

Yisrael. Died

8th day 

of the month ...[1]

I'm afraid that my photography skills were lacking in this photo and I inadvertently cut off the last line of the epitaph. So, the month of death is unclear and we have no year.

The only Rabbi I'd previously known for Labun was Rabbi Yoer Lerner. Lerner immigrated to the United States in 1924.[2] He and his first wife Rivka are buried in the First Lubiner Progressive Benevolent Association plot in Montefiore Cemetery in Queens, New York. 

Notes:

1. Translation of this stone was a group effort by several generous genealogists who responded to my post on Tracing the Tribe FaceBook page: Binyamon Lewis, Smadar Belkin Gerson, Lara Diamond, Israel Pickholtz and Robin Meltzer. Thank you (and to Schelly for conceiving of and maintaining TTT).
