Note JE: One of the oldest Jewish families in Prague; probably "Falkeles" originally, from "Falk," a common name among Jews of the 16th and 17th centuries. The name occurs with various spellings (as "Felkeles" and "Falkenes") on old tombstones in the Jewish cemetery of Prague (see Hock, "Die Familien Prags," 1892, s.v. "Presburg"). The only known attempt to construct a family tree was made by R. Eleazar Fleckeles, who traced his ancestors to the 9th generation as follows: Eleazar (1723-98) same as below? b. David b. Wolf b. Shalom b. Selig b. David b. Wolf (d. 1672) b. David b. Wolf. The last-named was a son-in-law of David GANS, and is mentioned by Heller in Tosafot Yom-Ṭob on Kilayim 3, Mishnah 1. From the above-mentioned work of Hock it seems that Wolf was the son of David b. Judah, who died in 1602, and who had another son, Hirsch (d. 1605), and a daughter, Pessel (d. 1636). The Fleckeles family was connected by marriage with that of R. Löw of Prague and that of R. Heschel of Cracow, as well as with other prominent families. Eleazar Fleckeles' daughter was married to R. Isaac Spitz of Bunzlau. Leopold Fleckeles, physician and writer (in German) on medical subjects, was born in Vienna 1802, and died in Carlsbad 1879

Note: JE "At the age of 24 he became rabbi of Kojetein, a small town in Moravia. In 1780 he was appointed dayyan in his native city. Later he accepted the office of rabbi of the bet ha-midrash founded by Joachim Popper and Israel Fr�nkel. Fleckeles was renowned for his scholarship and oratorical gifts, and for his skill in worldly affairs. He twice had audience with Emperor Francis I." Dominated Jewish life in Prague around the turn of the century with his anti-Haskala (anti-enlightenment) sermons and tracts

Note: Henriette (nee Janowitzer) Flekeles was a free thinking salonista (thus in rebellion from her highly orthodox Flekeles in-laws), and tells us, rather breezily, that she was in regular correspondence with Wilhelm von Humbodt, the Prussian philosopher and reformer in the very different cultural milieu of Berlin. If true, that would have been seen as disturbingly secular conduct for a young wife living in the Jewish quarter of Prague in the 1820's and 30's
