Elijah David Rabinowitz-Teomim (1845—1905), also known by his acronym ADeReT, was a Lithuanian rabbi in the 19th century who served as the leader of the Jewish community of Panevëþys, as the Rosh Yeshiva of Mir, led the Ashkenazi community in Jerusalem, and published many brilliant original arguments in Torah jurisprudence.
In 1893, he was appointed as the Rosh Yeshiva of Mir, where he served from until 1899. He then emigrated to Jerusalem and in 1901 was appointed as assistant to the aging Rabbi Shmuel Salant, who was the chief rabbi of the Ashkenazi Perushim community in Jerusalem. Rabinowitz-Teomim was married to Feige Minna, with who he had seven children. His daughter Batsheva married Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook in 1886, however she died a few years later, whereupon Rabinowitz Teomim encouraged Rabbi Kook to marry his niece (the daughter of his brother Tzvi-Yehudah). Eventually he encouraged Rabbi Kook to become the Chief Rabbi of Jaffa.

מצבת
רבינו הגדול הגאון הצדיק
האדרת
בן הגאון החסיד ר' בנימין זצ'ל
ארז בלבנון רב הפארות
לישרון תפארת פאר לדורות
יושר ותם אמת וענוה טהורה
הפיקו הליכותיו בקדושה ונועם תורה
ואהבת חסד וחן צדק דביביו הופיע
דור לדור רוב תהלותיו יביע
והוד גאונו מרחקים הפיץ אורה
דת ודין לקצות ארץ הורה
רבינו אליהו דוד איננו איש החמודות
ישראל מרי יאוח אי תורה אי מדות
צדקותיו יפו נשגבו רמ עלילותיו
תורת אמת ותדק מישרים יצירי
מחשבותיו: שמש ברבנות ק'ק
פאניוועז מיר ובחדש אדר שות ה"ת"ר"ס"א" לקח
אחר כבוד רבנות עדת אשכנזים בפעהק
ירושלם ונגנז ארן הקדש כבן ששים
ושתים שנה בשלישי לאדר הראשון
ה.ת.ר.ס.ה. ת'נ'צ'ב'ה' זי'ע ו.ע.כ.י.א.
