Levi in writing and as a decoration and as individuals

Descendants of the first High Priest Aharon HaKohen, brother of Moses, have a special status in religious life, even today. It is passed down from father to son.

The same is true for the descendants of the tribe of Levi. It also passes down from father to son.

For men this is noted in the Hebrew text like this:

Abraham, son of Yehuda HaLevi
אברהם בן יהודה הלוי


But also the daughters have this noted on their gravestones:

Rachel, daughter of Zvi HaLevi
רחל בת צבי הלוי

For the Levi men, who do the ritual washing of the hands of the Kohanim before they do the Kohen blessing, a pitcher and a bowl is part of the decoration on their gravestones.
The bowl often is just a circle.

Here are some examples:

For all the gravestones without a family name, we could - in the beginning - not connect the persons buried there to any family name.
Now, with the death register for the years 1914 - 1938, this has become possible in some cases.
Here are some Levites and their family names:
