In 1923 he left Klausenburg for Jerusalem where he resided until his death in 1924.
He is best known as the author of Dor Revi'i, a classic commentary on the tractate Hullin, and as a supporter of Zionism and a founder of Mizrachi. His father was Rabbi Avraham Glasner (1825–1877), who preceded him as chief rabbi of Klausenburg, and was his only teacher.
His mother, Raizl (née Ehrenfeld), was the oldest granddaughter of the Chatam Sofer.
