He traveled throughout the Middle East and the Holy Land, and later moved to Saint Petersburg, where he became involved in Zionist activity and scientific work, among others with "History of the Jewish people."

He worked as an editor in the newspapers Yevreyskaya zhizn (Jewish Life) and Rassvet [ru] (Dawn).

In the governments of Mykolas Sleževičius, Ernestas Galvanauskas and Kazys Grinius, he held the office of Minister of Jewish Affairs (from April 1919 to December 1922).
