Raised in the Portuguese Jewish community in the Netherlands, in 1905 he married a Christian.{{citation needed|date=November 2012}} From 1905 to 1941 he was professor of economics and statistics at the municipal university of Amsterdam.

From 1905 he was a party worker for the VDB in the Dutch House of Representatives. From 1910 to 1916 he was a member of the States-Provincial of North Holland for the district of Amsterdam. From 1918 to 1946 he was member of the Senate. His sister was at that time also a member of parliament for the VDB.
