He served as Admor during his father’s lifetime, and after his father’s passing, he succeeded him. During the Holocaust, his family was deported from one town to another under harsh conditions. While he was in the Dzhurin ghetto, he served in a special Beit Din for releasing agunahs. He immigrated to the Land of Israel in 1947 and settled in Jerusalem. He later moved to Jaffa. In 1960 he moved to Bnei Brak and established a yeshivah there. He passed away in 1978, and is known by the name of his book, Devar Chaim .
