Sachs was a German rabbi and scholar; preacher at Prague and Berlin. "A strong traditionalist, Sachs opposed the introduction of the organ....His middle-of-the-road position earned him the suspicion and antagonism of the old-time Orthodox, while he disappointed the hopes of the Reformers....As a scholar, he was one of the leaders in the emerging Wissenschaft des Judentums.... Of a more philological nature were Sachs's Beitraege zur Sprachund Altertumsforschung (2 vols. , 1852-54) , in which he treated the relationship between the classical world and that of the Talmud and Midrash.
