Monument on the grave of Isaac Ryvkin

This photograph was taken in 1995 at the Jewish section of the Yuzhnoe cemetery in St. Petersburg. The photo was taken by my son Mark Ryvkin. The photo shows the monument on the grave of my husband Isaac Ryvkin. After my husband's death in 1990, I visited the synagogue several times and took my granddaughter with me. I don't know how to pray. Ira was in the synagogue with me during Rosh Hashanah. My husband was buried according to the Jewish rites. A coffin with his body was brought to the synagogue. At the Jewish cemetery the minyan was headed by Rabbi Levitis. I remember that the rabbi didn't speak Yiddish, only Russian.
