In 1883 G. acted under the direction of Berger in Germany, then with Smit in London, where he performed at times as "Bar kokhba" and at times as "Eliezer".  After the "shrfh" in the theatre, he organized a group of artisans and acted with them in Goldfaden's first operetta in the Pelham Street club.

Then G. went on to act and took over a bar in the same club. Later he opened a tobacco business and toured with troupes under his direction across England. Then G. founded together with Dina Feinman a cooperative theatre.

During his later years G. traveled to his children in Canada, where he became blind, and he made a living as a cantor. Afterwards he immigrated to Australia, where he became a music teacher.
