After his marriage in 1961 with Mrs. Chaya Golda Lahm, granddaughter of the Shochet and Bodek Rabbi Pethachiah Lahm~~[1]~~, he was a Rosh Mesivta in Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim in Newark, and later moved to Montreal to be a Mashgiach in Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim.

In 1970, he moved to Crown Heights and was appointed as Mashpia in Yeshivas Ohalei Torah. Simultaneously, he was very active in various organizations spreading Yiddishkeit and Chassidus, including Tzeirei Agudas Chabad New York (where he gave many Chassidus classes in New York neighborhoods), Mivtza Mezuzah ~~and FRI~~.

On 15 Sivan, Erev Shabbos Parshas Behaaloscha 1983, while giving a Tanya class in Williamsburg, he was attacked by several Satmar chassidim who opposed the teaching of Chassidus classes. He was injured and his beard was cruelly cut.

At a gathering that took place in 770 in the days following the shocking incident, Reb Pinyeh was invited to share what happened. He briefly described the details of the incident and concluded with a call to continue engaging in the holy Mivtzoyim with greater vitality and mesirus nefesh.

He briefly described the details of the incident and concluded with a call to continue engaging in the holy Mivtzoyim with greater vitality and mesirus nefesh.

On 17 Tammuz of that year, the Rebbe gave a special sicha in which he strongly addressed the incident and connected it to Rabbi Korf's name, 'Pinchas'. In the transcript of the sicha this matter was not mentioned, and in the editing, the Rebbe wrote to the transcribers "Missing regarding the hint to the parsha - that occurred with '''Pinchas'''".

The Rebbe called in his sicha for Satmar rabbis to express protest against the incident (and also against the stabbing of Rabbi Mendel Wechter about two weeks later), and when they refused to do so, the Crown Heights Beis Din led by Rabbi Zalman Shimon Dvorkin placed a cherem on products under the supervision of the Satmar Beis Din.

After Maariv on Shabbos, the gabbai in 770 announced, in the Rebbe's presence, that a seudas hodaah would take place at the ~~Korffamily~~ home. This was without the family's knowledge, and apparently at the Rebbe's instruction. Hundreds of Anash and Tmimim came to Reb Pinyeh's house and farbrenged with him for many hours.

Even after 3 Tammuz 1994, he continued to believe in the Rebbe as Melech HaMoshiach and farbrenged extensively about the importance of proclaiming "Yechi" and accepting the Rebbe's kingship as Melech HaMoshiach, and also gave classes on the Dvar Malchus sichos.
