He was the first of the Chassidei Ashkenaz, and the father of Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg.

Works
He is quoted in the tosafot,[4] and Rashbam in his commentary on Pesachim.[5]
He the author of a commentary on the treatise Tamid, mentioned by Abraham b. David in his commentary thereon.
He may also be the author of a liturgical poem entitled Shir ha-Yiḥud,[a] divided into seven parts corresponding to the seven days of the week. This poem is a philosophical hymn on the unity of God, for which Ibn Gabirol's Keter Malkut served as the basis. Like the latter, Samuel he-Ḥasid describes God using negative theology, that is to say, from the point of view that God is not like man. The Hebrew, if not very poetical, is pure; but foreign words are used for the philosophical terms. The recitation of the poem was forbidden by Solomon Luria; but other rabbis, among whom was Samuel Judah Katzenellenbogen, who wrote a commentary on it, decided to the contrary.[6]
