Web translation of Hebrew plaque on tomb of Rabbi Yonatan ben Uziel at Amuka, northern Israel

dgollub has added a photo to the pool:

The Hebrew on the pictured plaque describes, and the accompanying English attempts to describe, the rabbi whose tomb the plaque marks. This tomb is a pilgrimage spot for Orthodox Jews. I offer the translation as an unusually elaborated example of Israeli Engrish. I am particularly delighted to learn of Rabbi Yonatan that "when learning Torah any bird that flew over him would ignite". I didn't know that birds learned Torah while flying over ancient rabbis, much less that any would spontaneously combust while doing so.
