Shraga Feiwel Helman

not to be confused with R' Uri Feiwel (Olry) Helman, ABD Lissa and Hanau

• ******************************************

aka Uri Shraga Feiwel Helman according to some, but see also excerpt from the footnotes to the 2017 chart from Gelles (in his Gelles papers):

"An Uri Feivush, claimed by some as Rabbi Helman’s father, may indeed have been his father-in-law. This question is discussed in my books, An Ancient Lineage (2006), chapter 33 and The Jewish Journey (2016), chapter 12. Rabbi Shmuel Helman was the father of Rabbis Uri Feivush and Moshe of Glogau, and one of the latter’s daughters married Moses Gelles, who was the grandson of the scholar Moses Gelles of the Brody Klaus.This Gelles line goes back to Uri Feivush ben David, Chief Rabbi of Vilna, later Head of the Ashkenazi community in Jerusalem, and descends to my grandfather Rabbi Nahum Uri Gelles. The name of Uri or Uri Feivush thus recurs in both Helman and Gelles lines."
