Shem Mishmuel (Hebrew: שם משמואל) is a nine-volume collection of homiletical teachings on the Torah and Jewish holidays delivered by Rabbi Shmuel Bornsztain, the second Sochatchover Rebbe, between the years 1910–1926.
Bornsztain's choice of the Mishnaic expression shem miShimon o miShmuel (Shem from Shimon or Shmuel) for his title reflects the classical rabbinic play on words combining a rabbinic teaching with the author's name.
[2] The first eight volumes of Shem Mishmuel cover lessons on each of the parshiyot (weekly Torah readings).
In traditional Hasidic style, they are not printed according to the sequence of the parshiyot but in the order in which the Rebbe delivered these lessons to his followers.
[2] In addition to displaying a thorough familiarity with the Talmud, Midrash, Kabbalah, and other classic Jewish sources, Bornsztain presents many of the ideas of his father, Rabbi Avrohom Bornsztain, the first Sochatchover Rebbe, who was known as the Avnei Nezer after the title of his major work.
