Moshe Menuhin was born in Russia in 1893 to a distinguished, religious Jewish family.[1] He was the great great grandson of Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad Hassidism.[2] When the family moved to Palestine, Moshe was sent to Orthodox Jewish schools, first to Yeshivas in Jerusalem, then to the nationalistic Hebrew Gymnasia Herzlia in Jaffa - Tel Aviv.

In 1913 he came to the United States to complete his higher education, attending New York University where he studied mathematics, political science and education. He later moved to California, where he wirked as a Hebrew reacher. A committed anti-Zionist, he was the author of "The Decadence of Judaism in Our Time" [2] and "Jewish Critics of Zionism", and of the family history "The Menuhin Saga".

Moshe Menuhin was the father of renowned violinist Yehudi Menuhin and pianists Hephzibah Menuhin Hauser and Yaltah Menuhin.
