Abraham Samuel Bacharach was a Rabbi, born about 1575; died in Gernsheim, Electorate of Mainz, May 26, 1615.
He was rabbi in Turbin, Kolín (Bohemia), and in Pohrlitz (Moravia); and was subsequently called to the ministry of the very important congregation of Worms.
One of the frequent riots against the Jews, instigated by the guilds, caused him to flee from the city.
A few of his responsa were published by his grandson, Jair Ḥayyim, in the collected "Ḥut ha-Shani" (Frankfurt-am-Main, 1679).
Bacharach was the author of an essay on the Jewish calendar, a number of apologetic works against Christianity, liturgical poems, and casuistic treatises.
