He had a close relationship with the Gur and Lubavitch chassidut. During the Holocaust, he was exiled to Siberia and was in charge of sawing trees. When he was forced to work on Shabbat, he cut off the end of his finger. After the Holocaust, he served in the rabbinate in Wetzlar for six years. He then moved to Raanana, where he was known as a righteous person and kabbalist and wonder worker, who had a close relationship with the Admors of Gur. In an approbation to his work, Rabbi Shach wrote, "He is known to be full of wisdom in both the revealed and concealed Torah."
