Rabbi Dr. Avraham Chaim [Emanuel] Low [1854-1944] served as Av Beth Din in Szeged, best known for his monumental work "The Plants of the Jews" - four volumes written in German in which he compiled all the plants mentioned in the Jewish sources (mainly in the Bible and the Mishnah, and with the help of the Talmud and Midrashim). He also wrote other books - Kovtzei Drashot and philosophy books, all in German and books on Jewish society, eulogies for Hungarian cultural heroes and books on the problems of his time, in Hungarian. He also translated the Song of Songs into Hungarian. He also authored linguistic studies. Rabbi Low was accepted into the "Kastner Train" and is 90 years old. Upon his arrival in Budapest, even before boarding the train, he died in an improvised hospital at a Jewish school at 44 Vashleni Street.
