After his return to Greenwich Village in New York, he was commissioned in 1950 to sculpt a bust of Albert Einstein.

He was also an active member of the American Movement for World Government, Veterans for Peace, and a lifetime member of Veterans of Foreign Wars.
In the 1950s he designed the Hannukah Menorah and the decor around the Torak Ark for the Baltimore Hebrew Congregation Temple.
