Rabbi Joseph HaLevi

This profile has been disconnected from Rabbi Benvenisti ben Yossef Ha'Levi.

We the management of Geni.com appreciate the tremendous religious and cultural significance of the alleged connection between the Horowitz progenitor, Joseph HaLevi, and the Benvenisti line. Our decision to allow this connection to be severed is not intended as a statement of absolute fact regarding Horowitz heritage, but rather simply a reflection of the fact that the evidence for such a connection does not meet the rigorous standards set out by the Genealogical Proof Standard -- a standard to which we have encouraged our curators to aspire. We encourage our curators and other users to keep abreast of the academic findings that will no doubt follow the Avotaynu Online article, and to keep the World Family Tree updated with the best available information.
