Judah Bachrach was born in Lithuania around 1775. He was a seventh-generation descendant of Tobias Bachrach, who, along with Israel ben Shalom, was executed on
charges of ritual murder in
Ruzhany on 19 September 1659. Bachrach was known for his piety, and donated all his income from his rabbinical position in
Sejny to the poor, living on the interest from a small fund that his friends had invested for him in their business. His Talmudic notes were published under the title
Nimmuḳe ha-Grib by the
Romm publishing house in
Vilna. ==References==
