He was born in Prage (Praga), a

youthful years, he was active in the religious Zionist youth movement, initially
in Bnei Akiva and later in “Tora veavoda” (Torah and labor). Until WWII he was employed by the Jewish

Yiddish and Hebrew publications put out by the Tora veavoda movement in
Poland. He authored several
Yiddish-language pamphlets on religious Zionist questions. He was a member of the editorial board of Tsienistishe leksikon (Zionist handbook)
(Warsaw, 1935), for which he wrote the articles on “Hapoel hamizraḥi”
(Mizrachi workers [religious labor party]) and other religious elements in
Zionism. He was killed during the destruction
of Polish Jewry under Hitler.
