Zvi Hirsch Grodzinsky

Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Grodzinsky (1857 (?), Minsk, Belarus - 1947, Omaha, Neb., United States) was an American, Jewish, Orthodox Rabbi and author. His English name was Henry.

Zvi Hirsch studied under his famous second cousin Rabbi Hayyim Ozer Grodzinsky. In 1891, he accepted the rabbinate of the two Orthodox synagogues in Omaha. Zvi Hirsch was on par with the elite Jewish Law scholars of his day. He chose, however, to serve as rabbi in a religiously underdeveloped city so that he can pursue his scholarly endeavors. He was a composer of literature on Halakhic topics.

Famous quotes containing the word hirsch:

    A hook shot kisses the rim and
    hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop

    and for once our gangly starting center
    boxes out his man and times his jump

    perfectly, gathering the orange leather
    from the air like a cherished possession
    —Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)
