Born Moshe Stavsky in Antopol, Russia, Stavi originally wrote in Yiddish. In 1907, he moved to Warsaw and gradually started writing in Hebrew. There he married the Yiddish poet Anna Margolin, but they later divorced.

He was one of the few Hebrew writers of the period whose stories featured Arab characters.
