Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg
- Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg
:"See Judah he-Hasid for other people who used this name."
Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg (12th - 13th centuries), also called He-Hasid or 'the Pious' in Hebrew, was the initiator of the Chassidei Ashkenaz, a movement of Jewish mysticism in Germany.
This movement is considered different from kabbalistic mysticism because it emphasises specific prayer and moral conduct. Judah settled in Regensburg in 1195. He wrote "Sefer Hasidim" (Book of the Pious) and "Sefer Hakavod" (Book of Glory), the latter has been lost and is only known by quotations that other authors have made from it. His most prominent students were Elazar Rokeach and Moses ben Jacob of Coucy.
Rabbi Avraham Aharon Price, a 20th century rabbi, wrote a commentary on "Sefer Hasidim" of the same title.
