As well as studying the revealed Torah, he built a close relationship with the kabbalists of Jerusalem, especially the rabbis of the Beit El yeshiva for kabbalists and the kabbalist Rabbi Shimon Zvi Horowitz and began praying from a prayer book with the kavanot of the Rashash. However, he used to conceal his study of kabbalah. He was a member of the first Council of the Chief Rabbinate.
