Abraham Reif (Hebrew: אברהם רייף; 1802–1859) was a Galician Jewish poet.
Born in Mościska in 1802,[2] he came early under the influence of the school of the Me'assefim, but subsequently broke away from the movement.[1] Tobias Feder deeply influenced his literary work.[3] Alexander Langbank introduced Reif to the secular sciences, and after Reif's death he purchased from his widow, Yente, all his posthumous works.[3]
Reif open a school for the study of the Torah and the Hebrew language in his native city, which produced a number of prominent Hebraists.[1] His chief dramas, Ha-Nidka'im, Shulamit, and Yehudit, vividly portray the life of the Galician Jews. As he was too poor to publish his works, he gave manuscript copies of them to his pupils.[3]
