He attended the Toras Emes yeshiva in Stamford Hill, of which Rabbi Moshe Schneider was the rosh yeshiva.,[2] before learning in Brisk yeshiva. He also studied with Rabbi Bezalel Rakow, later to become the Gateshead Rov.[3] He subsequently took up a position in Johannesburg, South Africa. he was very involved in outreach,including his noted lectures to those in the medical field.
He strongly opposes the Zionist State of Israel and was against its establishment.
