Rabbi Shlomo Zalman of Łuków

The archival trail does not securely identify the Łuków rabbi in this passage. The strongest lead is a possible namesake, not a confirmed match.

• Rabbi Shlomo Zalman of Łuków: A Geni search result lists a Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Wahl Katzellenbogen as rabbi of “Luvke and Lukow,” with approximate dates c. 1585–after 1677. That profile may be relevant, but Geni is user-contributed genealogy and the search result does not establish that he is the person named in this passage. I found no independent archival confirmation of his dates, family, or identity. Geni search result

• Rabbi Zalman Shor, Elijah, and Tevuot Shor: Searches for the names and work together, including Hebrew and English forms, did not produce a source in the permitted archives that verifies how these people were related to the Łuków rabbi. The evidence available here does not support adding family relationships or biographical dates.

• Łuków: A historical overview describes a substantial Jewish community, with synagogues and study institutions, and identifies the town’s Jewish center around Brzeska, Kościelna, and Trzebieska Streets. This provides local context for a rabbinic figure associated with Łuków, but does not identify this particular rabbi. History of the Jews in Łuków

• Searches and limits: I searched Geni and the permitted Wikipedia, YIVO, and JewishGen domains for Rabbi Shlomo Zalman/Shlomo Zalman of Łuków, Rabbi Zalman Shor/Shor, Elijah, Tevuot Shor, and Łuków/Lukow. Some results were unrelated people with the same common given name; none established a family link to the figures in the passage. I found no independently verifiable information on this rabbi’s relatives, residence, occupation beyond the rabbinic association, or fate.
