Sent to his friend R. David Moskowitz of Bonyhád and Miskolc, in response to his letter on the topic of unintentional labor on Shabbat. Written between Purim and Pesach [19th Adar II], the letter opens and closes with allusions to past and future redemptions.

In 1938 he settled in Brooklyn, where he founded and headed the Arugat HaBosem community. He campaigned for true Torah observance in the United States, especially on matters of kashrut and purity, and was at the forefront of the establishment of Torah and Chassidut in the United States.
