Family Significance
As indicated by the HaCohen in his name, Rabbi Aryeh Leib Heller-Kahana was descended from the family of Aaron, the original high priest, and therefore was a member of the priestly class.

Typically, the claim of lineage to Rabbi Heler-Kahana is a tradition passed on through the generations as a source of pride.
