He published many of them (Refer to Reshima B’Chachmei Transylvania, p. 117).After his marriage to the daughter of Rabbi Aryeh Leib of Dukla, son of Dovid of Chrzanow [Kushnev], son of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz, he stayed by the Divrei Chaim in Sanz for a year and learned much Torah and chassidut from him. In 1885, he was chosen Rabbi of Lapush and he served there as rabbi and Rosh Yeshiva for about fifty years. He died at the age of 80, on the 21st of Adar, 1935.
