He established a yeshiva for hundreds of boys in Pshemishl.

In his days, the court of Sadigura expanded and developed in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Bnei Berak and elsewhere.
In 1939, the Rebbe visited Eretz Yisroel and on the recommendation of his uncle, the Holy Rebbe Yisroel of Husyatin he remained there settling in Tel Aviv & thus was saved from later horrors.
