The rabbinical family Efrati
The chapter on rabbis of Suwalk cannot be concluded without something said about the rabbinical family of Efrati which was essentially a Suwalk family.
Rabbi Eliezer Efrati was born in Suwalk around 1846. His father, R'Ben Tsiyon, was a wealthy man. His mother, Yente, was the daughter of a wealthy local man, R'Aryeh Leb Bialistotski. R'Ben Tsiyon's brother, R'Menahem Mendl, studied in Kalvarie.[164] His only sister, Sarah Perl, married Moshe Dov Frid of Lazdey. R'Shemuel Yosef Yeruzalimski, an old resident of Suwalk, was his great-uncle.[165]
R'Eliezer Efrati studied in Brest-Litvosk for a long time and then settled in Kovne. He was the author of “Even Tsiyon”. (Warsaw. 1866, part 1) and “Dor Vedorshav” (Vilna.649{1888 or 1889}.[166]
R'Menahem Mendl's son, brother of R'Ben Tsiyon, was also named Eliezer. He lived for many years in Shavl and during the second half of the past century, was one of the most important notables of that city. His uncle, R'David Tebli, was called “Hagevir Vehaliterat Mishavil”.
The leading member of the Suwalk Efrati family was R'Eliezer's uncle, Rabbi David Tebli Efrati, known as R'David Tebli from Vitebsk.
R'David Tebli Efrati was born in 1850 In Meretsh.[166*], in the province of Suwalk and was the son of Rabbi Leyzer Pruziner. R'David Tebli's other grandfather was the illustrious R'Hanokh Henekh of Kalvarie, son of the illustrious R'Yehudah Safra VeDayna.
R'David Tebli Efrati {or Ephrati} was also related to R'David Tebli Brisker (grandfather) to R'David Tebli Ben Nathan from Brody, head of the religious court Horochow and Lissa and to R'David Tebli Lifshit of Slonim.[167]
At the age of 14, R'David Tebli Efrati had already written a work: “Daltot Zahav”. At fifteen, his articles were being published in “Halevanon”. In 1873, he was suddenly arrested because an informer (“I was caught because of secret slander”) and a year later was found innocent.[168]

Efrati, David. Toldot Anshei Shem. Warsaw, 1875.(in Hebrew)
One of the earliest nineteenth century rabbinical genealogies. Traces the descendants of a number of prominent rabbis and provides copious notes with interconnecting genealogical material. Unindexed, merits lengthy and careful study. The book is arranged as a main text entitled Arzei Banim (Cedars of the Sons), with extensive footnotes entitled Ateret Zekeinim (Crown of the Elders). In the main text the author records five primogenitors of his major ancestral lines: Yehuda Yesod of Vilna, Yom Tov Heller Tosfot Yom Tov, Yehudah Leib Maharal of Prague, Moshe Kremer of Vilna, and Shaul Wahl-Katzenellenbogen. Each of these five lines is expanded in the footnotes which list all descendants traced by the author. These notes, which are printed in Rashi script, provide a considerable volume of details, clearly listing sons and sons-in-law with their subsequent descendants, including places of residence. In the main no dates are given. Since Efrati’s work was written comparatively early, it can be considered a primary source of later works, such as Daat Kedoshim, which further expanded these families. The major families include: Ashkenazi, Berlin, Efrati, Eizenstadt, Eliasberg, Eliash, Epstein, Gaon of Vilna, Gunzburg, Heller, Horowitz, Katz, Katzenellenbogen, Klausner, Landau, Levin, Lipshutz, Luria, Maharal of Prague, Mirels, Rapaport, Ratner, Rivlin, Simchovitch, Shapira, Shick, Shneurson, Teumim, Vitkind, and Zukerman, with connections to many other living particularly in Eastern Europe. Additional notes by Efrati include sources located after publication which expand particularly the Katzenellenbogen family. Some brief biographical material is unique. This is a highly recommended source requiring painstaking study of the many footnotes.
Russian Talmudist; born in Vitebsk 1850; died in Frankfort-on-the-Main Oct. 24, 1884. Among his ancestors were: R. Liva b. Bezalel of Prague, R. Yom-Ṭob Lipman Heller, and R. Moses Kremer of Wilna. His "Toledot Anshe Shem," Warsaw, 1875, which is an attempt at the biographies and genealogies of these notables and their descendants, from a scientific point of view was not very successful (see "Ha-Shaḥar," vii.723-726). He wrote many Talmudical works and commentaries, but only a few of them were published, viz.: "Migdal Dawid," on halakic subjects, containing also some biographies, Mayence, 1873; "Yad Dawid Tebele," Lemberg, 1880, containing addenda to his work "Dibre Dawid," which had appeared five years previously; and "Ḳohelet Dawid ha-Efrati," on Ecclesiastes, Berlin, 1884. Ephrati also published, with the assistance of Israel Hildesheimer, a periodical dealing with rabbinical questions, under the title "Eẓ Ḥayyim," of which several monthly numbers appeared in Lemberg in 1881, and a few in Berlin in 1884. Ephrati was also associated with R. Israel Lipkin (Salanter) in the publication of the periodical "Tebunah."
