He moved to Israel in 1857, settled in Jerusalem, studied at the “Knesset Yehezkel and Chessed El” yeshivot and soon became known as a great kabbalist and rabbi in the city. He edited and published important works of kabbalah like Divrei Shalom and the siddur “Chukat Olam.” Considered proficient in editing calendars. A friend from youth was the gaon Rabbi Eliyahu Mani.
