Dreifus, Menahem Ben Abraham

German rabbi and writer; he belonged to the widely related Treves family and signed himself . For many decades he was rabbi in Sulzburg, Baden, where he died in 1880. He is the author of a code giving the individual duties incumbent on an Israelite, published under the title "Oraḥ Mesharim," Mülhausen, 1858; 2d ed., Mayence; 1878. A Hebrew eulogy on the author by his brother-in-law Raphael Wormser, rabbi in Soulz, Alsace, forms a prelude to the work.
