Samuel Jacob Rabinowitz (Yiddish: שמואל יעקב בן שמעון מאיר ראבינאוויץ; 1857–1921) was a Lithuanian rabbi, writer, and Zionist leader. He has been described as the "greatest spokesman of religious Zionism before Reines."[1]

Rabinowitz was born in Kelme, Kovno Governorate, in 1857. He became rabbi at Ivye in 1887, and was called in the same year to Aleksot. He was an early member of Ḥovevei Zion,[2] and was a delegate to the Second Zionist Congress at Basel.[3] He became rabbi of Sopotkin in 1900, and of Liverpool in 1906.[3]
