[edit]

I was perusing through the pages here. I wanted to see what was going on with my 12th great grandfather's page and I saw a few glaring omissions, mistakes etc. For starters his name was Gershon Shaul Yom Tov Lipman. One of my cousin's went to his grave and did a lot of research, would it be an acceptable source? http://web.mac.com/lmort/Vivian_Kahn_Family_Website/R._Yom_Tov_Lipman_Heller.html --Saxophonemn (talk) 18:36, 11 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I recommend keeping the title "Yom-Tov Lipmann Heller" and specifying the full name with "Gershon Shaul" in the text, since he is most commonly known as Yom Tov Lipmann Heller, and his works are attributed as such. See the MOS for more info. As a side note, some scholars believe that "Gershon Shaul" was added to his name towards the end of his life (in accordance with the Jewish custom of adding to a person's name during grave illness). -shirulashem(talk) 21:52, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I second. Debresser (talk) 04:52, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Correct name of the commentary of R. Lipman Heller is Tosefet Yom Tov. As is visible http://beta.nli.org.il/he/books/NNL_ALEPH001762106/NLI and here — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mishna (talkcontribs) 14:02, 3 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Lengthy ancestry and descendants

[edit]

Most of these people do not have Wikipedia articles. Should these lists be kept in the article? Debresser, any thoughts? Enigmamsg 22:34, 26 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I think not. Debresser (talk) 09:43, 27 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Wallerstein

[edit]

"It is possible but unclear whether the addition of Oettingen and Wallerstein to their names means his ancestors had connections by marriage with the noble families of the House of Oettingen-Wallerstein." As marriages between Jews and non-Jews were very unusual in those days and were certainly never recognized as legitimate, this seems far-fetched. Probably the names were added to their names because, as the article says elsewhere, they had political or other connection with the Wallerstein nobility.

The right Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel of Crakow linked?

[edit]

The link for "Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel of Crakow, the author of Maginne Shelomoh" appears to be for another Rabbi Yehoshua Heschel [i.e. Avraham Yehoshua Heschel]. According to this article for Heller the Heschel of Crackow mentioned was head of the yeshiva in 1643 and died around 1647. He was dead before the 1648 Chmielnicki uprising/massacres started. However, Avraham Yehoshua Heschel linked was appointed head in 1654, was alive to have a position on allowing a agunah to remarry follow the Chmielnicki uprising/massacres, and died in 1663.

Perhaps it should be Höschel_ben_Joseph. Fdgzoid (talk) 03:42, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
