His life revolved around his undying faith and love for God. He loved God and the Jewish faith so much that he often cried while he was praying. He and his family lived without fear and in happiness until some of the people of Sighet were deported.

They continued marching straight up to the edge of the ditch with faith in their hearts and were suddenly told to turn left into barracks.
