Shem Mishmuel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rav Samuel Bornstein (1856-1926) was the author of Shem Mi-Shmuel, a nine volume collection of inspirational essays on the Torah and Jewish holidays. In this work, Bornstein presented many of the ideas of his father, Rabbi Abraham ben Ze'ev Nachum Bornstein, who was head of the Bet Din of Sochaczew (Poland). The commentary set forth many of the classic ideas of the Chassidic movement. Upon his father's death, Samuel succeeded him as the rebbe of the Sochaczew Chassidim.
