SACHS, MICHAEL (18081864) , German
Rabbi
 . He was one of the first of Jewish graduates of the
modern
 ' universities, taking his Ph.D. degree in 1836. He was appointed
Rabbi
  in Prague in 1836, and in Berlin in 1844. He took the conservative side against the Reform agitation, and so strongly opposed the introduction of the organ into the
Synagogue
  that he retired from the Rabbinate rather than acquiesce.
Sachs
  was one of the greatest preachers of his .age, and published two volumes. of Sermons (Predigten, 18661891).. He co-operated with
Zunz
  (q.v.) in a new
translation
  of the Bible.
Sachs
  is best remembered for his
work
  on Hebrew poetry, Religiose Poesie der Juden in Spanien (1845); his more ambitious
critical
 
work
  (Beitrage zur Sprach- and Alterthumsforschung, 2 vols., 18521854) is of less lasting value. His poetical gifts he turned to admirable account in his
translation
  of the Festival Prayers (Maltzor, q vols., 1855), a new teature of which was the metrical rendering of the medieval Hebrew hymns. Another very popular work by Sachs contains poetical paraphrases of Rabbinic legends (Stimmen vom Jordan and Euphrat, 1853). (I. A.)
