Biography

Yehuda Grozovski was born in Pogost, Minsk Governorate, in 1862. After having attended the Volozhin yeshiva, Grozovski studied pedagogics in the Institute for Hebrew Teachers at Vilna. At age 27, he emigrated to Palestine, teaching Hebrew in various places; in 1896, he received an appointment as a teacher of Hebrew in the agricultural school of Jaffa. Three years later, he moved to Mikveh Israel, and filled the same office there.

He moved to Beirut in 1906, where he worked for the Anglo-Palestine Bank. He returned to Jaffa in 1911 to become the manager of the bank's branch there. He retained this position until 1929.
