After having studied the Tanakh and Talmud under different teachers, Minkovsky continued his Talmudical studies alone in the bet hamidrash of his native town. At the age of eighteen he began to study Russian and German, and he mastered these two languages. His first teacher in vocal music was his father; later he studied it under Nissan Spivak, whom he succeeded as chief cantor of the Choral Synagogue [he] in Kishinev.[3]
Minkovsky thereafter went to Vienna, where he continued his studies under Robert Fuchs, from whom he obtained a diploma as singer. He was afterwards successively cantor in Kherson and Lemberg. In 1881 he became cantor in Odessa (in the great synagogue), but soon departed for New York to work at the Kahal Adath Jeshurun synagogue.[4][5] In 1892 he was called back to Odessa, where he served as cantor of the Broder Synagogue for thirty years until its closure by the Bolsheviks in 1922.[6][7]
He returned to the United States in August 1923, dying there the following year at the age of 65.[8] Over 1,000 people attended his memorial service on the Lower East Side, which included performances by Yossele Rosenblatt and other well-known cantors.[9]
