== His Marriage And Activist Work ==
After wandering, he arrived in Tashkent and joined the local Chabad community, where he entered into marriage with Mrs. Rachel, daughter of the chassid R' Shneur Zalman Duchman, who had accompanied him in his difficult time.

When he and his wife fell ill with typhus and were quarantined in the hospital, the chassid R' Yisrael Konson cared for them and managed to save them from death.

In Tashkent, he was among the leading Chabad activists, and stood alongside Rabbi Aharon Chazan in establishing underground cheders for children.

At the same time, he engaged in business and achieved great success, donating enormous sums for underground activities throughout the Soviet Union. For his business, he moved to live in Moscow, and at great personal risk and mortal danger continued to support generously all the underground activities of Chabad chassidim in Russia.

He merited to greatly assist in the release of Rebbetzin Chana, the Rebbe's mother, from Russia, and her smuggling to the displaced persons camps in Germany.

Later, he himself joined the Chassidim who escaped Russia in an operation that later became known as 'The Russian Exodus of 5706 (1946),' and even while in the displaced persons camps where he stayed for about four years - he continued to take part in communal activism, and did much to spread Yiddishkeit and Chassidus.
