Holocaust-era work on the ethics and practice of Judaism both religiously and culturally. In 1903 Leibush Lehrer ?joined the group ?Der unz? which stood for a goal of founding a cooperative agr…icultural colony (some of the members later emigrated to the United States and created a cooperative colony in Alliance, New Jersey). At the same time, he was attracted to the Zionist movement, and was later for a time active in the Socialist Zionist Party in Czestochowa. In 1906 he moved to Belgium, where (1906-1907) he was an early follower of Universit? Nouvelle in Brussels, and at the same time he worked slicing pieces of kindling wood used to light stoves. In late 1907 he returned to Warsaw. A short time later his friends in America sent him a ship?s ticket for passage, and in 1908 he left Warsaw, spent a short period with his brother Lipe in Paris, and in April 1909 arrived in New York, where until 1911 he worked making slippers, blankets, and neckties, and in his free time he was writing song lyrics.

He was a cofounder of the Sholem Aleichem Folk Institute and Camp Boiberik, where Lehrer served as director for over forty years, which practiced an innovative method of inculcating Jewish traditions and customs in youth, ceremonial celebrations of Sabbaths and holidays, widely commented upon in the American Yiddish press. The essays and articles that he wrote in subsequent years had the goal of explaining the spiritual path of the Jewish people, their thought and their story. ?The artistic and the thoughtful word and also life with its practicalities,? wrote Dr. Shloyme Bikl, ?were for Leybush Lehrer never a book from which to draw only knowledge or enjoyment, but always a text which taught him and stimulated him to do?namely, to bear the burden of work for the community, which others, and he himself, marked in writing and orally.??
