== Public Activity in Russia ==
While in Russia, he assisted the Rebbe Rayatz in various ways with activities for Russian Jewry. His underground code name was "Shir HaShirim" or "Rashi". He was considered one of the senior rabbis working for Russian Jewry, as the Rebbe described during the Sadigura Rebbe's visit: "I knew him when he was in distress in Russia, in a situation where involvement with any matter of spreading Judaism was literally dangerous, yet he was not deterred by anything and devoted himself to fulfilling the work and mission of my father-in-law the Rebbe in matters of spreading Judaism."

From 1904-1924 he served as rabbi in Kazmirov, Klimov, Maglin and Novozibkov.

From 1924-1934 he was secretary of the 'Spiritual Rabbinical Center' of Russian Jewry.

In 1918, during the revolution period when there was briefly a democratic government, he was appointed as a member of the Ukrainian Parliament in Kiev.

In 1919 he was appointed as a member of the Jewish National Council in Ukraine. In 1920 he became a member and secretary of the Jewish National Assembly in Ukraine.

During Communist rule, he was secretary of the Rabbinical Assembly in Koroston. In 1921 he published a Torah journal in Russia called "Yagdil Torah". After some time the publication ceased, and in 1928 he reissued the collection together with Rabbi Yechezkel Abramsky, rabbi of Slutsk.

In Kiev he edited the political collection "Achdut".
