He was born in Vepriai, Kovno Governorate, present-day Lithuania.[1]
In 1917, he was elected a member of the Ukrainian Central Rada.[citation needed] At the end of 1917 he was elected Member of the Executive Committee of the Belarusian National Council (temporary quasi-government of Belarus) as a representative of the Jewish minority.[2]
Following the announcement of Belarus's independence in March 1918, he represented the Jewish minority in the Belarusian government. He also helped draft the first constitution of the Belarusian People's Republic.[2]
