Hebrew phrase

[edit]

Could someone please provide a transliteration, and secondarily a translation, of the phrase יהא זכרונם לברכה that appears on the plaque? I would guess from the context that it could mean "may their memory be blessed" like the adjacent English phrase, and Google Translate agrees with that, but the phrase doesn't appear to be widespread, at least under that spelling, from my brief efforts to search for other uses of it.

I'll attempt to ping users who list themselves as as having a professional level of Hebrew, to see if they can help, starting with @Vcohen: שָׁלוֹם‎. Beorhtwulf (talk) 14:46, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

שָׁלוֹם‎. Your translation is correct. Regarding the transliteration, I am not sure about conventions that I may use. It will be something like this: yehe zikhronam livrakha. Vcohen (talk) 14:53, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
