Rabbi Benvenisti ben Yossef Ha'Levi

Note: The legend of the Horowitz family descent from the Halevi family of Spain has been called into question and appears to be a fabrication of the late 19th century. As a result, this profile has been disconnected from Joseph HaLevi, [Horowitz progenitor]

See: Does the Horowitz Family from Bohemia Really Descend from the Benvenisti Halevy Family from Spain? [AB-067 ]

Other family trees do not agree with these apparent findings and support the connection to the Bohemian Horowitz line.
