B. was born on 23 April 1847 in Lemberg. His mother was the daughter of a magid. B.'s mother died during his birth, and he was raised under very bad conditions with his stepmother, and as such after almost as a child he joined the Broder Singers, and with them he toured across the villages and thus he sang in bars, and he also composed his own programs and songs. While in distress he also acted as a bit of a badkhan, later receiving a concession for a Yiddish theatre, and he toured with Yiddish troupes across Galicia, Bukovina and Hungary.

At the age of forty, he lost himself, the desire for his wife, a beard.

On 15 February 1913 B. passed away in Lemberg's Mushbkin's, losing a son, who also had acted in Yiddish theatre.

Among B.'s popular songs were: "Di damf-shif" and "Di eyzenban" of which Chana Volfstal had composed the music.
