Was his father’s name Oriah – אוריה? That’s an interesting name!
Yes, indeed, Rav Shlomo Zalman Feinberg was the son of Ooriah (we think Ooriah’s family name was Horwitz, not Feinberg). Zalman and his brother Isaac were sent to live with a childless uncle named Feinberg to evade the Russian draft since there was a younger son (as well as a dau) at home. No Dovids or Tuvias among Zalman’s children. His children were Harry, Morris, Sarah, Philip, Goldie and Ben, most of whom also buried in Lincoln Park cemetery, Providence. (We would love to find a picture of “Zalman”. Irma Feinberg Megiddo, great grandau of Rav Shlomo Zalman
FYI – I think his father’s name, Ooriyah (אוריה) is a variation of Aryeh (אריה), esp since Zalman’s first son was Harry (אריה in Hebrew) and first sons of Zalnan’s siblings were also Harry (אריה).
Efraim,
Thank you for this crystal clear picture. Do we know each other? Are we related? (Regrettably, I didn’t see your post till just now – a year later.)
