Efrayim Kitover, was a Rav and Av Beis Din in one of the four batei din in Brody, Poland. His son, Rav Gershon Kitover, brother-in-law of the Baal Shem Tov (1696-1761). moved to Eretz Yisrael in 1742? (becoming the first of the talmidim of the Besht to do so), living first in Chevron and then in Yerushalayaim.
Rabbi Ephraim's Daughter:
According to some sources, Israel ben Eliezer, the Ba’al Shem Tov (1698-1760), first married at about age 18; his wife died soon thereafter. Around 1720, he married Leah Rachel (or Chanah), the daughter of Rabbi Ephraim of Brody. His wife’s brother was Rabbi Abraham Gershon Ashkenazi of Kuty (also known as Gershon Kittower or Kitover).
