He escaped to Switzerland taking up residence in Zurich where he continued his public and literary work until his death. Following a visit to Israel in 1931 he wrote "Zwischen Ruinen und Aufbau in Erez-Israel" which praised agricultural settlement and expressed strong reservations about the lack of religious observance in the new Israel. He was a prolific writer and although his various publicistic works were of a religious propagandist nature many were of a high literary standard and attracted numerous readers.
