He learned the printing trade while working for Yisrael Bak, after Bak's death he continued in the printing house of Bak\u2019s son Nisan. He soon went to London and worked there in printing before returning to Eretz Israel to work in the shop of Ag\u201dn. By 1885 he was a partner in that enterprise and from 1886 became the sole owner, publishing books under his name. He became one of the foremost printers in Jerusalem.
