Foto de Lapida Mosseh Alvares Correa and his wife Ester January 6, 1765 and January 11, 1765 Bluestone, 77.4 x 25.8 x 5.9 inches and bluestone, 77.1 x 27.2 x 5.3 inches

In 1734 Mosseh Alvares Correa was the Parnas of Hebrah, the burials and cemetery administrator. He had arranged in 1726 for a rustic wall to be built enclosing Beth Haim at his own expense. Since that date the wall has always been extended together with the cemetery and tended with care. It's one of the valuable historic features of Beth Haim. Mosseh, a merchant and active member of the Jewish community, married his niece Ester, daughter of his sister Gracia and Jahacob Semach Ferro. Ester died just five days after Mosseh and lies buried beside him. Decorating their gravestones is a tree of life in which two doves have settled. In the Talmud the dove symbolizes the purity, harmony and chastity of family life. Other graves in Beth Haim where the dove may be seen as a motif referring to the family are those of the Lopes Castro and Halevi families. The epitaph for Mosseh Alvares Correa is as simple and modest as the man himself; it's a verse from the biblical book of Exodus (19:3).

Abigail Aboab Cardozo, wife of Selomoh Nunes Redondo June 18, 1747 Carrara marble, 96 x 36 x 6 inches One of the most beautiful tombstones in Beth Haim is that ordered by the sorrowing Selomoh Nunes Redondo as a tribute to his wife Abigail. Unfortunately, we can only appreciate the quality of the sculpture today by studying old photos. On Abigail's tombstone Selomoh ordered a diptych to be carved. In the left panel was a scene showing the biblical Abigail offering gifts to king David and in the right the Judgment of Solomon. Thus the couple were united even after death. Selomoh was born in Amsterdam in 1700. When his father Mozes de Abraham Nunes died he left his wife Deborah with at least five children. She was the sister of Ribi Moshe, first scion of the Maduro family to settle in Curaçao, in about 1672. Ribi Moshe supported his sister and her children financially. She also received financial support for many years from the Amsterdam community. Around 1714 Selomoh and his mother settled in Curaçao.
3		Foto de Lapida David Senior y Lopes The Senior family was among the first Jews from the Iberian peninsula who settled in Amsterdam towards the end of the 16th century. David Senior was one of four brothers who scarcely a hundred years later went to seek their fortunes in the West Indies. Apart from this he was a prominent figure in the Curaçaon community and apparently the governor of the island sought his advice on important matters. David arranged for his gravestone to be made during his lifetime. This too is evident from the words: during his life he penned his epitaph to beg each reader to pray to God for mercy on his soul. Furthermore, he reserved this place in the Beth Haim beside his wife Sara Hana who died in 1730. On the other side lies his grandson David. To left and right of the sculpted hourglass on his tombstone are two pictures of David, as a young warrior with the giant Goliath, and as a musician playing upon his harp

5		Foto de Lapida Ester, wife of Selomoh Senior. December 4, 1714 Marble, 78 x 28 x 6 inches One of the most remarkable funerary monuments in the Dutch Beth Haim is that of Mosseh de Mordechay Senior who died in 1730. His tombstone bears a design of various portraits, both his own likeness - a picture of Moses carrying the tablets of the Law - as well as close relatives. In this sense the gravestone functions as a family portrait album, also showing his brothers who lived overseas, Ishak, Jacob, David and Selomoh. An Ester and a Rachel feature on his gravestone too, presumably his sisters, though possibly also referring to his Curaçaon sisters-in-law. Ester (de Marchena y Carilho) Senior died many years before her husband Selemoh, whose year of death was 1758. Ester's symbolic portrait shows the biblical scene in which the young queen Esther reveals her Jewish identity to the king, beseeching him to prevent the wicked plan of Haman to slaughter all Jews (Esther 8:3-4).

7		Foto de Lapida Ishac Haim Senior (1726) Gravestone 1f2, Beta Haim Blenheim, Curaçao. Isaac Haim Senior (d. 1726). Isaac Haim Senior lived on the island of Curaçao and is buried in Beit Haim Cemetery, Blenheim. Isaac was the husband of Rachel Senior, who was the daughter of Isaac de Marchena and Sarah Carilho. His son Mordehay died a little over a month after he did. Isaac’s father was David Senior, and he was undoubtedly named for his uncle who died in an epidemic 1693 (Emmanuel Precious Stones, 58, 126, 183, 244, 282-83, 305, 516). Isaac’s elaborate gravestone features King David playing the harp on the top panel along with a Rabbinical figure, most likely modeled on Rabbi Isaac Aboab da Fonseca. The bottom panel depicts a deathbed scene. Isaac’s father also had King David on his tombstone (probably due to his name). The family had a house in town near the synagogue, but also owned a plantation called Habaai
8		Foto de Lapida Ishak Senior June 25, 1693 Marble, 78.3 x 28 x 6.3 inches The epitaphs from the 17th and 18th century don't always give the precise age of the deceased but very often suggest an approximately age. Ishak Senior is here described as incurtado, which indicates that he wasn't yet fifty when he died. He was one of the victims of an epidemic that raged through the island. In 1685 he arrived in Curaçao together with three brothers. Until this death he ran a trading enterprise with his brother David. The decorations on Ishak's marble tombstone all refer to his early death. His tree of life has one branch lopped off and is surrounded by a wood - a possible reference to the strong family ties of the Seniors. At the base of the slab is a richly detailed still life bearing symbols of the transience of life. The bones and garlanded skull are unambiguous. The hourglass refers to the passing of time and with it, life. It bears a feathered wing as well as a bat's wing, symbols of day/joy and night/sadness.
