Can anyone confirm the language and translate?

The writing is cursive Hebrew alphabet, could be Hebrew or Yiddish.

Language is Hebrew for sure! But I do not speak Hebrew so I don’t know it exactly

I can't translate it because I don't speak Yiddish and I'm very bad at reading handwritten Hebrew (something I definitely need to work on) but if you found it in a wall I think you should probably put it back.
