Zebi Hirsch ha-Kohen Scherschewski (Yiddish: צבי הירש הכהן שערשעווסקי, romanized: Tsvi Hirsh ha-Kohen Shershevski; 1840–1909) was a Russian Hebrew writer.
While still a boy he studied Hebrew grammar and archaeology without a teacher.
After serving as secretary of the Jewish community of Pinsk, he went to the Crimea, where, at Melitopol, he entered the service of a merchant named Seidener.
[2] During the Russo-Turkish war he followed the Russian army as a sutler; and after a second short stay with his former employer, Seidener, he settled in 1883 at Rostov-on-the-Don, where he opened a bookstore.
[2] In addition to numerous contributions to current Hebrew journals, Scherschewski wrote Boser Avot (Odessa, 1877), a satirical poem on the neglect of the education of Jewish children in Russia, and Iyyun Sifrut (Vilna, 1881), on the development of Jewish literature and its significance as a cultural element for raising the Jews to a higher moral standing.
