The epitaph declares that from biblical Moses to Moses Maimonides there was no one as great as Moses. Here the phrase is extended to Moses Isserles, as an exemplary master of law. The slips of paper, kvitlakh, are requests for divine assistance placed there by visitors to the gravesite. The tombstone was renewed in 1794. +
