Ephraim Carlebach (March 12, 1879 in Lübeck - 1936 in Ramat Gan[1], Eretz Israel), was a German-born rabbi.
Carlebach belongs to a well known german rabbi family. His father Salomon Carlebach (1845-1919) was rabbi in Lübeck. He had seven brothers and four sisters. Four of his brothers were rabbis as well. They are Emanuel Carlebach (1874-1927), Joseph Carlebach (1883-1942), David Carlebach (1885-1913) and Hartwig Naphtali Carlebach (1889-1967). [2] Carlebach is most known for his work in founding Orthodox Jewish schools in Germany, notably Leipzig, from 1900. He was a leading figure in the construction of The Jewish High School (Höhere Israelitische Schule) and the synagogue Etz Chaim.
In 1924 he was appointed the chief Orthodox Rabbi of Leipzig.
In 1935 Carlebach moved to Israel (then Palestine) where he died in 1936.
His son Azriel Carlebach was the founder and first editor of the newspaper Maariv.
