>>Just  parachuting in to say that Falk was not the Drisha's family name, it 
was
his  Yiddish name.  Yehoshua-Falk is a paired name, just like Yehuda-Leib  or
Tzvi-Hirsh.  If his family had a name at all, I don't think we know  what it 
was.<<

Leib is a lion, the symbol of the tribe of Yehuda.  Hirsch is a deer,  same 
as Tzvi.  What is "falk"?
