 A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE JEWS IN SUWALKI
Suwalki was the most important and biggest town in the area, and it was the capital even when it was part of Augustow province.
While the Jewish communities in the smaller towns surrounding Suwalki had stagnated, and in some cases lost population, during the 19th century, due to restrictions, persecutions, and edicts of all kinds, especially by the Russians, the opposite happened to Suwalki where the Jewish community quickly grew to become dominant in both population and influence.
Rabbi Yoselewich and later the last Suwalki rabbi, David Lifshitz, made speeches and appealed to the community for support of all of these important institutions, as it was an old Jewish tradition for the community to maintain a hospitality house as well as other charitable institutions.

Rhenium and osmium abundances and Os isotopic compositions were measured for nine sulfides and four titanomagnetites from the Suwalki anorthosite massif in extreme northeast Poland.

The first magmatic episode (I) is represented by monzodiorite (jotunite) rocks of the Sejny intrusion, dated with a concordant zircon at 1548 ± 7 Ma, which is in accordance with earlier dated Re-Os ages of the ore deposits in the Suwalki anorthosite massif (Morgan et al., 2000).
The youngest (III) episode is represented by the Boksze diorite (east cover of the Suwalki Massif), which is dated with a concordant zircon age at 1513 ± 4 Ma.
Titanomagnetite and sulfide ores from the Suwalki massif dated by the Re-Os method have given isochron ages of 1559 ± 37 Ma and 1556 ± 94 Ma (Stein et al., 1998, Morgan et al., 2000, Wiszniewska and Stein, 2000).

 A Re-Os Study of the Suwalki Anorthosite Massif, Northeast Poland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Part of the buried crystalline basement in the western East European Platform, the Suwalki intrusion and its Fe-Ti-V magnetite ores lie south of a well exposed E-W belt of 1530-1660 Ma rapakivi granites and anorthosites spanning western Russia, southern Finland, Estonia and Latvia, and Sweden.
We suggest Suwalki sulfides are the only Re and Os sinks and may be used to estimate bulk Re and Os as <2 ppb and <0.2 ppb, respectively, for the anorthosite-norite-magnetite system.
Although unknown in the region, perhaps due only to Phanerozoic cover, the most plausible source for Suwalki ores and anorthosite-norite is Archean crust (or Proterozoic crust composed of Archean detritus) with a long-sustained high Re/Os.
