Welcome to Tnet.

Looks more like a stele than a gravestone as such. Although stelae can be grave-markers or funerary tributes, they also served as memorials and commemoratives (for battles or other important events), as boundary markers for property or city/town limits, and for a number of other purposes.

It's rather unhelpful that you have neither said where it is, nor what else is in the immediate vicinity.
I am sure its a tombstone because it was on a grave and i was surrounded by them as i was in an old cemetery, and i believe jewish lived in nearby village long time ago.

Id say something to do with the masons. The all seeing eye and pyramid is why i say this. I could be way off but don't think so. The freemasons have been around for thousands of yrs

Yep.

The symbol to the right represents the Royal Arch, which means he presided over a lodge.

And at the bottom, the eight steps means he was a Master Mason of Swedish or Scottish descent.

Hey there! Even though this thread is a bit old, I wanted to chime in and share some of my knowledge on tombstone symbols.
Ok. What are you sharing? Tombstones are a very interesting topic; especially the symbolism involved.
