Lost his family in Auschwitz and after the Holocaust, immigrated to Israel and lived in Tel Aviv, where he lived alone in a single room, working at night paving roads by the advice of the Chazon Ish. He joined the group of Kabbalists who were disciples of the Admor Rabbi Yehuda Leib Ashlag, Baal Hasulam. Unlike them, he remained anonymous for many years and only few knew about his greatness. Nevertheless, the Tzaddikim of the generation recognized his greatness, considering him one of the 36 hidden Tzaddikim.
