He became chairman of the Jewish neighbourhoods of Jaffa in 1943, serving for three years.[2] He also chaired the Social Services Department of Tel Aviv city council, and was deputy chairman of the Sephardi Committee in the city.[2]

In the first Knesset elections in 1949, he won a seat on the Sephardim and Oriental Communities list and served as a member of the Constitution, Law and Justice Committee, the House Committee and the Finance Committee. He lost his seat in the 1951 elections.
