English translation:His honour the Rabbi
Explanation:
כ"ה probably stands for "כבוד הרב", his honour (the) Rabbi. The reason I am not sure because of the second sentence. I imagine that there are words following the second sentence that would make it clearer. On the other hand, the second "כ"ה could stand for
"כל הימים". which is a poetic way of saying "Always", or "Throughout his life."

  • הוא נתן צדקה כל ימיו.
  • כל הימים שהיה שם, הוא למד עם הצבור.
