Many people were attracted to Breslover Hasidut after hearing him pray and sing with intense devotion.
He immigrated to the Holy Land in the early 1900s and lived in Meron, Safed, and Tiberias.
Rabbi Odesser describes him as pious and dedicated to prayer and study, respected even by those who has disdain for the Breslov way.
