He also helped establish the Bulgarian branches of Hashomer Hatzair and Poale Zion, and was secretary general of the Zionist Organisation in the country. However, he entered the Knesset on 8 December 1952 as a replacement for Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, who had been elected President. He lost his seat in the July 1955 elections, but returned on 14 November the same year as a replacement for Ya'akov Shimshon Shapira, who had resigned from the Knesset following allegations that his involvement in the oil business was inappropriate for a workers party representative.
He lost his seat again in the 1959 elections. He died in 1962 at the age of 61.
In 1935 he made aliyah to Mandatory Palestine, and became secretary of the Histadrut's Mizrahi Jews department, as well as becoming a member of the trade union's executive committee and the Tel Aviv Workers Council.
