Upon his father’s passing in 1872, he was appointed to succeed him as Admor of Kaidanov at the age of 32. During his leadership the Hasidic court flourished and reached its numerical peak, numbering thousands of followers throughout Lithuania.

His Torah teachings were published posthumously in Zekher Tzaddik (Vilna, 1905).
