Shem Mishmuel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shem Mishmuel (שם משמואל) is the name of a nine-volume collection of inspirational essays on the Torah and Jewish holiday by Rabbi Shmuel Bornsztain (1856-1926), the second Sochatchover Rebbe. Bornsztain became known as the Shem Mishmuel after the title of this major work.

In this work, Bornsztain presented many of the ideas of his father, Rabbi Avrohom Bornsztain, the first Sochatchover Rebbe, who was also known as the Avnei Nezer after the title of his major work. The younger Bornsztain's commentary set forth many of the classic ideas of the Hasidic movement.
