Abraham Aharon Price (December 10, 1900 – March 30, 1994) was a renowned Torah scholar, writer, educator, and a community leader in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
At the age of 9, he was sent to study with Rabbi Avrohom Bornsztain, founder of the Sochatchov Hasidic dynasty and author of Avnei Nezer.
In connection with rise of Nazism, he fled Berlin for Paris in the early 1930s, and lived there before arriving in Toronto, Canada, in 1937.
Many prominent rabbis were ordained at Price's yeshiva and many students received their Hebrew and Talmudic educations there.
In 1942, Price worked with the Canadian Jewish Congress and Senator Arthur Roebuck to negotiate the release of 50 men from an internment camp in Quebec.
Price works in his study on Palmerston Blvd., he is surrounded by what is probably the largest private library of Hebrew books on this continent, a total of 2,200 volumes.
His brother and sister were killed in France by the Nazis, and recently an orphaned niece arrived in Toronto.
The three-volume Sefer Hasidim is a commentary on the 12th-13th Century work of the same name by Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg.
