My great-grandfather. One of 4 sons-in-law of R’ Shraga Feivel Frank; the other three were the two stated above, as well as Rav Boruch Horowitz (Gurevitch) known as Rav Baruch Aleksoter, for the suburb of Slobodka of which he was the Rav. Rav Sheftel’s sons-in-law were Rav Ruderman, Rav Mordechai Shuchatowitz, Rav Zalman N. Skaist, Rav Naftali Nueberger, Rav Dov Heiman, and Rav Shmuel Lewin. Rav Sheftel was not one of the Yad Hachazaka. He was sent to Slutsk to be the Menahel Ruchani after the Yeshiva was established. My grandmother was born in the Yeshiva, in the Kramer apartment overlooking the Beis Medrash, on Simchas Torah, during the Hakafos.
