Shmuel Bornsztain (16 October 1855 – 10 January 1926), Hebrew calendar (4 Cheshvan 5616 – 24 Teves 5686),[1][2] also spelled Borenstein or Bernstein, was the second Rebbe of the Sochatchov Hasidic dynasty. He was known as the Shem Mishmuel by the title of his nine-volume work of Torah and Hasidic thought. He was a leading Hasidic thinker in early 20th-century Europe and a Rebbe to thousands of Hasidim in the Polish cities of Sochaczew (Sochatchov) and Łódź.
