In 1881, following a wave of pogroms and anti-Jewish decrees, he began working as a teacher and eventually became a well-known sermonizer.
He was arrested at one point while in Noblye near Pinsk due to a denouncement, although his numerous followers persuaded the authorities to release him.
The paper was financially backed by Louis Marshall and other German Jews and reflected their interests in Americanizing the immigrants and enlisting them in their anti-Tammany reform policies.
[7] Masliansky was vice-president of the Federation of American Zionists from 1900 to 1910 and president of the New York Section of the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society of Denver from 1915 to 1920.

Their children were Hyman, Phillip, Bertha (Mrs. Philip Turberg), Fanny (Mrs. A. S. Schwartz), Anna (Mrs. Harold Weinberg), and Beatrice (Mrs. Joseph B.
