In 1900, he established the Or Torah yeshiva near the grave of Rabbi Meir Ba’al Hanes and headed it until his passing. One of his sons, Chaim Elisha, was murdered during the 1929 Palestine Riots. In 1933, he became sick and sent a letter to Rabbi Asher Ze’ev Warner, who was then in the USA, asking him to come to Tiberius to replace him as the Rav of the town. He passed away in Shevat 1934.
