His appointment to the court was viewed as a victory for Mizrahi Jews, as the court had consisted largely of judges of Ashkenazi descent.

In 1966, he began his military service in the Israel Defense Forces as part of the Atuda program, serving in the Combat Engineering Corps. In 1971, he received a BA in law from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and received a law license in 1975. In 1977, he received a master's degree in law from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He served in the Military Advocate General's office of the IDF in a number of positions, including as a judge and prosecutor in the IDF legal system. He served as President of the Military Court of Appeals for the Judea, Samaria, and Gaza Areas, was Chief Military Prosecutor from 1995 to 2000, and then served as Deputy President of the Military Court of Appeals. He completed his military service with the rank of Brigadier General.
In September 2001, he was appointed a judge on the Tel Aviv District Court. While serving in this position in 2009, he imposed several long sentences on members of organized crime groups.
