R. Abraham Chaim Shorr (d.1632) was one of the eminent rabbis in Galicia and served as the rabbi of Belz and Sataniv. His Talmudic Chidushim are appreciated for their original interpretations - boldly disagreeing with both Rashi and Tosphoth and generally following the school of thought propounded by Maimonides. The Torath Chaim commentary to Tractates Eiruvin, Sanhedrin, Shavuoth, Avodah Zara, Chulin and Pesachim appeared in Cracow in.1634.
