Julius "Puzil" Glick
Mar 9, 1995
Adar II 7 5755
the Hebrew year is off by 10 years. It says 5745, but 1995 corresponds to 5755. This was confirmed by the grave https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/74461757/julius-glick (Malden MA)
The name Puzil requires some comment. Below is from AI which may not be accurate.
1. The Hebrew Name Pazel (פָּזֵאל)
- Meaning: "God's Gold" or "Golden One of God".
- Connection: Pazel is a genuine, lesser-known male Hebrew name. When spoken aloud or transliterated by Eastern European Ashkenazi immigrants, the vowels easily shift, causing "Pazel" or "Pazil" to sound exactly like "Puzil" depending on the regional Yiddish dialect (such as Ukrainian or Galician Yiddish, which heavily rounds "a" sounds into "u" sounds).
2. A Childhood Nickname That Stuck Globally
In the Old World, Ashkenazi communities relied heavily on Yiddish kinnuim (secular nicknames). Sometimes a nickname became so synonymous with the person that their family put it on the English side of the plaque so people visiting the synagogue would actually recognize who it was
One final note. The Database does not allow quotes in the name --the plaque has "Puzil". This may be an enhancement that the vendor will have to deal with
