Zvi Hirsch Grodzinsky

Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Grodzinsky (1857, Minsk, Belarus - ?, Omaha, Nebraska, United States) was an American, Jewish, Orthodox Rabbi and author.

Zvi Hirsch studied under his famous second cousin Rabbi Hayyim Ozer Grodzinsky. In 1891, he accepted the rabbinite 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.
