Most of his education was from his father, R. Michel, who was a Chassid, a close student of Rabbi Zadok HaCohen of Lublin, and had a great influence in forming his personality.
At that time, he also worked on a volunteer basis in secular Jewish schools for abandoned children, until his Aliyah to Israel in 1936.
He married a sister of Rabbi Alexander Zusia Friedman, top activist for the Agudath Israel of Poland.
In addition to its concern for finding steady work for its members, this group eventually established cooperative factories of its own, in the fields of construction and industry.
At the same time, he became very involved with public affairs, editing the Poalei Agudat Yisrael newspaper, HaKol [The Voice].
However, at times he would get involved in education: giving guidance to teachers, lectures and publishing articles, mostly in the United States.
Tuvia's father’s name was Moszek Aronowicz (Moshe ben Aron) who died on July 25, 1810, in Warka, Poland, at the age of 83.
