At a young age, he began studying at the Volozhin Yeshiva where he became close to his Rav the Natziv, who even called him 'a living Shas'.

Served as Rav in several holy communities until in 1938, he immigrated to the Holy Land and was appointed Rosh Av Beis Din of HaEidah HaChareidis in Jerusalem. Authored the book Liflagot Reuven.
