Shanghai, where he lived and
worked for the next eight years.
There he served as executive rabbi
to the city rabbinate, established
a religious school and represented
eastern European rabbinical col-
leges to the Shanghai government.
During this time, he compiled
a history of the three Shanghai
congregations and wrote an ar-
ticle on the Sephardic community
Lubavitcher Synagogue,
which was published recently by
