Yehuda Heller Kahana

Yehuda Heller-Kahane (2 December 1743 – 22 April 1819) (Hebrew: יהודה בן יוסף הכהן) was a Rabbi, Talmudist, and Halachist in Galicia.

[1] In 1743 Yehuda was born to his father Yosef in the Galician town of Kalush (presently located in Ukraine).

Contrary to some historical reports, Yehuda was not a fourth-generation descendant from Rabbi Yom-Tov Lipmann Heller, but fifth generation.

He was one of five brothers (with Chaim, Mordechai, Daniel, and Aryeh Leib the Ketzos HaChoshen) and one sister.

R. Yehuda wrote: Kuntras HaSfeikos which documents cases in the Gemara regarding monetary disputes, as well as Terumas Hakri, a commentary on the Shulchan Aruch.
