Abraham Lewinsky was a late nineteenth to early twentieth century German rabbi. He was born on March 1, 1866, in Loslau, Upper Silesia, Kingdom of Prussia. He studied at the University of Breslau from 1884 to 1887, obtaining a (Ph.D.), while pursuing his rabbinical studies at the Jewish Theological Seminary in Breslau. In 1890 he became rabbi to Weilburg, and two years later assumed leadership as land rabbi of the Land Rabbinate of Hildesheim in the Province of Hanover, retiring in 1935.[1] He died December 18, 1941, in Mainz, People's State of Hesse.

Lewinsky is best known for his studies of the 1st century Jewish historian Josephus. He has also published works on a predecessor in the Hildesheim rabbinate, the seventeenth-century rabbi Samuel Hameln,[2] brother-in-law of Glückel of Hameln, and on the general history of Judaism in Central and Eastern Europe from the 16th to the eighteenth century.[3]
