1119.0. "Zt"l revealed" by DECSIM::HAMAN::GROSS (The bug stops here) Tue Oct 22 1991 16:32

This has been one of those items I've always wanted to know about and
was afraid to ask. I finally figured out what zt"l stands for, and just
in case anyone else has been too shy to ask, I'll enter it here.

It's an abbreviation for zecher tsadikim l'bracha (the memory of the
righteous is a blessing) and it signifies "deceased".

RE: -1

I suppose the cultural equivalent in English would be "of blessed memory"
