At the end of 1920, he was accepted to Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim in Kremenchug where he studied until 1924. That year, the Soviet secret police discovered the yeshiva and he was forced to flee. From 1925, he studied in underground yeshivas in Kharkov, Vitebsk, and Nevel until 1929, when these yeshivas were also closed, and the many students were forced to disperse among various underground yeshivas.

Years later, the mashpia described his memories from those days: Every Thursday night was entirely dedicated to learning. There were students who diligently studied Gemara and others who studied Chassidus; he himself would dedicate this night to studying Gemara.

He especially loved the many farbrengens where the best mashpiim of that generation would farbreng, such as Rabbi Zalman Moshe Hayitzchaki, Rabbi Yitzchak Horowitz (Itche der Matmid), Rabbi Yechezkel (Chatche) Feigin, and others.
