When the MaHaRIL Diskin emigrated to Yerusholayim in 1879, R. Yosef Chaim became his close follower and student, eventually serving as and member of his Beis Din. He also assisted the MaHaRIL Diskin in the struggle against the Christian missionaries as well as in his fight against the Haskalah movement, which threatened the Old Yishuv.
