Eliezer Morawczyk

A member of the communal leadership class of the Jewish community in Kraków, Eliezer Morawczyk and his son Moses both fled the city in the wake of a plague that struck about a week before Rosh Hashanah in 1588. Eliezer went to Tymbark (Tymbarg), approximately thirty miles away, and Moses to Prague. As a result of their recent financial distress, Eliezer planned to sell his property in Kraków and move to Lublin. Isaac ben Pinḥas Horowitz (d. 1631) of the Horowitz rabbinic family in Kraków was his son-in-law.
