His famous book 'Arvei Nachal' - Hasidic sermons on the order of five Torah Pentacles - of the basic books of Hasidism founded on the foundations of Hasidism of the Ba'al Shem Tov - after the publication of this book, his greatness reached all the world and the members of his community accepted him and became his devout followers, and even told about him that he had Giluy Elijah. All his days he was in fasts and penance (especially dream fasts). He began to put his innovations into writing at a young age, and already in his first book "Megillat Starim" - a book of morals and commentary on the first chapter In the Psalms, He become known as one of the greats of the Kabalah Tora. Upon his settlement in Soroka, he began activities to elevate the foundation of the Torah in the city and to increase the number of scholars.

(in part Orach Haim Chapter 168 and at the end part Yore Dea). Apart from his rabbis, he was also in contact with the great Hasids Rabbi Ya'akov Shimshon of Shipitovka, Rabbi Baruch of Mezhibozh, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Barditchev, Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heshil of Afta, Rabbi Aryeh Lieb of Volchisk and Rabbi Chaim of Chernowitz, who gave consents on his books.
