Pinchas Greivsky (1873-1941), researcher and writer, was born and lived in Jerusalem all his life. In his youth he was educated at the "Etz Chaim" yeshiva and was close to Rabbi Shmuel Salant. One of the greatest documenters of Jewish life in Jerusalem in the first half of the 20th century. Already in 1893 he began to collect historical documents, personal memories and histories of famous families in the old settlement, and published a large number of publications. At the beginning of his work, he published short articles, the number of which reaches hundreds, about the personalities of Jerusalem. He collected historical documents, photos, personal memories and histories of individuals and families in the old settlement, and published them in the journal "Miginzei Jerusalem" which he edited and published, and in many other publications. The important and rare material about the history of Jerusalem, which today can only be found in his writings, he collected from archives of individuals and institutions, old newspapers and pamphlets, proclamations and declarations, and fascinating historical stories that he collected while visiting the homes of the people of Jerusalem, their courtyards, and the institutions of the Holy City. In addition, he wrote obituaries about rabbis and public figures in Jerusalem, which were published both as dedicated booklets and as articles in the press. Greivsky was close to both the rabbis of the old Yishuv as Rabbi Kook and the elders of Jerusalem and also to Zionist leaders and intellectuals such as Chaim Nachman Bialik and Eliezer Ben-Yehuda. In the Givat Shaul neighborhood in Jerusalem, a street is named after him.
