He led the Karlin Chassidim in the USA, who prayed in three synagogues in New York York and another synagogue in the city of Detroit.

Part of his life's work was to spread Judaism in the United States and bring back young people who had abandoned the religion. He founded Torah institutions, was known for his dedication to repaying kindnesses, and every Shabbat many Hasidic flocked to the 'tish' he organized.

From time to time he visited his followers who were divided into four communities, and every year he stayed for a few weeks with the community of his followers in Detroit in the state of Michigan.

At the beginning of the month of Iyar 1946, when he came to visit his congregation in Detroit, he brought his belongings with him, and suddenly, before he began the minchah prayer, he returned his soul to his creator. He was buried in Detroit with a large funeral. Because of this, he is known in Hasidism Karlin Stolin as the "Detroit Rabbi".
