burlington Posted 29 January , 2004 Share Posted 29 January , 2004 I am trying to find out the meaning of the Hebrew that appears on both German and British Jewish war graves. I think it might mean 'passed over to paradise'. I contacted the CWGC but they had no idea. Can anyone help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred van Woerkom Posted 29 January , 2004 Share Posted 29 January , 2004 Burlington, If you mean the word 'MIZPAH' , it seems to mean 'May God watch over us while we are far apart'. But if you mean the hebrew characters, I would not know. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_Bluestein Posted 29 January , 2004 Share Posted 29 January , 2004 Burlington, I cant read Hebrew that well, but certainly know many who do. Send me the characters and I will have it translated. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaeldr Posted 30 January , 2004 Share Posted 30 January , 2004 Burlington, If Fred is correct and what you want translated is the word MIZPAH then there is an explanation given here Mizpah when written in Hebrew characters appears thus - מצפה Regards Michael D.R.
